Knock knock, it's your health calling! But when you look deep inside what are you actually advocating for yourself? What are you advocating for the longevity of your health? But beyond that... What are you advocating in the sustainability and the health of the environment that will in turn better your health?

Sally Berry of Bodyfuel reveals that many people are coming to realize that they are not feeling so well after they take a bite or two - they end up with uncomfortable symptoms such as bloat, inflammation, even aches and pains - OH and mood swings!!! These signs could all be a case of undergoing a sensitivity within the foods you are consuming.

Sally, an "Environmental Nutritionist", taps in to the whole picture of the treatment of the food chain when working with clients on this topic of : "Food Sensitivities".

The way that the food is produced - soil, environment, etc.

Alternative medicine can have a profound effect on the longevity of your health - in the long run. Unlocking your true life force through the transformative practice of Chinese Medicine is an amazing key to unveiling your path towards health and harmony.

Amanda reveals how she uses traditional techniques to heal her clients. Here are some of the modalities connected through this eastern medicine:

Four Key TCM Principles

Your body is an integrated whole. Each and every structure in your body is an integral and necessary part of the whole. Along with your mind, emotions, and spirit, your physical body structures form a miraculously complex, interrelated system that is powered by life force, or energy.

You are completely connected to nature. Changes in nature are always reflected in your body. TCM factors in the particular season, geographical location, time of day, as well as your age, genetics, and the condition of your body when looking at your health issues.

You were born with a natural self-healing ability. Your body is a microcosm that reflects the macrocosm. Think about it: nature has a regenerative capacity, and so do you. Sometimes, this ability may appear to be lost or difficult to access. In most cases, it is never completely gone.

Prevention is the best cure. Do you know your body is continually revealing signs about the state of your health? Let’s face it, it’s common to ignore these signs or symptoms until something more complicated arises. TCM teaches you how to interpret what your body is telling you.

Further on... Chinese medicine can be used through many techniques you may not be aware of... Check this out!!!

Acupuncture

Needles are used to relieve energy blockages at key acupoints along the meridians to help the Qi {energy} flow smoothly.

Acupressure

This practices uses specific hand techniques, or sometimes tools, to stimulate acupoints and meridians. With acupressure, Qi that is blocked or stagnant can be released and allowed to flow freely once again.

Classical Herbal Therapy

Herbal therapy has been a heavily relied practice to help heal the body-mind-spirit. Energy is a huge part of Chinese Medicine and much energy is found in the plant kingdom.

Qigong

The life force or energy that animates everything in the universe and your body is what makes up Qigong. A practice that uses movements and postures and can create many physical healing benefits. Qigong = Energy Work {free flows energy throughout the body's meridian system}

ALSO - Each part of your body {organs} directly correlate with an emotion. I find this intriguing:

Liver is associated with Anger

Your body is a temple, if you haven't tried Chinese Medicine as a part of your everyday lifestyle practice or as a means to healing, please do! I think you will be thoroughly surprised.

*** TCM World ***

ALSO - In this episode we speak about ear acupuncture and how the human ear is ACTUALLY a tiny little human within itself. Each part of the ear has a direct correlation with an organ! I have attached a picture on my website to view!!! : )

I learned the hard way. Complete burnout is a REAL thing. You can feel like you are on top of the world one moment, simply floating through task after task, and then . . . "Uhhhhhhh, What was I doing?!" "What's my purpose?!" "I need to nap..." - Side note: I'm not a "napper".

I am a "DO ER!", time after time I have self induced my veins with loads of caffeine and positive affirmations to fuel me throughout my days. I am athletic, I move my bod because I am like a hamster that needs constant movement as a means to brainstorm my next creative endeavor.

As I have grown older, I have become WISER - I have! I learned that I cannot fill others' cup without fulling my own. I feel guilty in doing this. Do I really deserve a break? Do I really deserve to just SIT and shut off my mind? Do I really deserve to accept healing hands on my body?

And so, I learned that I deserve all of these tasks, and that YES, I can (and will) make time for them. It started as friends and family gifting me with such services - yoga, reiki / energy healing, massage / body work, spa sessions - and then... I turned 30. Did turning 30 mean that I could finally accept that "loving" myself was genuinely O-K? Wow. 30 years... and now I have come to the conclusion (with a little help from writing this goal down on my 2018 "resolutions" list) that I will, "DO ONE 'SELF-CARE' PRACTICE FOR ME - ONCE A MONTH MINIMUM." - - - period.

Gulp. Yes, spend money on me. Yes, allow time for ME. And so the power of this practice has started to have a profound effect on the way I function, not to mention how I can relate to my clients as well! I've got to practice what I preach, so I am!

Think of self-care as tying your shoe laces. Yes, sure you have them on your feet, your toes are protected, but what happens when you start to jog or run?!

FLIPPITY-FLOP - - - BA-BOOOOOM! Down you go. You just "ate it" didn't you?

Think of this as "burnout" or "overload".

Unfortunately, failing to care for your own emotional and physical needs before attempting to resolve those of others can really take a toll on your emotional and physical well-being - You may find yourself starting to "stumble" and "trip" on those shoe laces!!!

So, why is a self-care practice so important? 

It increases your sense of self-love, allowing you to appreciate and accept yourself for who you are.

Ways to feed your needs:

Physical self-care: Eating well, exercising regularly, making sleep a priority.

FITNESS - I like to get a good sweat on, pound the weight room OR stretch the bod.

HOT TEA! - Because this is a meditation in itself, did you read my post about this art?

YOGA - Okay, this is fitness to some, for me it's all mental - BREATH WORK!!! Oh and breath is life!

ENERGY WORK / REIKI - Moving the energy fields and aligning chakras OR perhaps cutting some relationship chords is essential to tap in to your CORE BEING!

MASSAGE / BODY WORK - Detoxifying and cleansing to the organs AND mind.

MANI + PEDI - Because a fresh coat of paint always helps.

RETAIL + ART THERAPY - Because a new art piece (yes, fashion is art) always does a nice healing for the soul.

BATH-TIME - Essential + necessary! I prefer mine with bubbles OR Epsom salts and aromatherapy oils!

The words you tell yourself transforms in to the way you live your life... learn how to CHALLENGE your inner voice toward positive change with Robyn Deeley.

Robyn spent the better of 7 years suffering severely with bulimia nervosa. It wasn’t until she found Crossfit and began flexible dieting (counting macros) that she was able to break free from the cycle. It was a long journey from there, but she has spent the better of 5 years repairing and rebuilding her body and mind to be stronger, healthier and happier than ever. Putting on almost 15lbs of muscle and confidence, she finally feels like the person she was always meant to be.

Robyn and I discuss how the QUALITY of your RELATIONSHIPS determine the QUALITY of your LIFE! Most importantly, the most vital relationship that you must nurture first... is the relationship with yourself.

What is the missing link in your diet? FIBER. What happens when you take the remnants of a freshly squeezed juice and transform that waste in to something snackable? You get a GENUINELY tasty superfood.

Did you know that juice pulp contains two-thirds less sugar and all the fiber of whole fresh fruits and vegetables?

At Pulp Pantry, they are using juice pulp to create healthy, craveable and affordable plant-based snacks for the whole family.

They use whole food ingredients - ALWAYS - Fruits and vegetables are the star sources of the primary ingredients. It's not just leafy greens and fruits, but added in seeds, nuts and spices - MY FAVORITE!!! Naturally sweetened with sources such as coconut + dates, ummmm YUM! OH OH OH AND, the Pulp Pantry's products are raw, paleo, refined sugar-free, gluten-free, grain-free, plant-based and vegan, and full of fiber and protein - perfect for any foodie!

What does it take to complete a 100 mile running race? Or better yet, what does it take to live a life of balance - true balance? Super human and trainer to the elite (Tennis star Maria Sharapova, Olympic swimmer Rebecca Soni, Basketball playermTroy Murphy), Tommy Cassano has a solution you need to take on. Ahem, it's all about biohacking your thoughts into actions and receiving the rewards of this process.

Self-discovery of cracking into living a life of truth, straight down to the core elements begins with setting your intentions as to where you want to go with your goals. Tommy works with high level executives in training them not just externally (physically speaking), but internally (mentally grounded).

Tommy is a literal "super human" in that he seems to be able to juggle multiple athletic practices / businesses while maintaining not only personal strength and stamina, but a smile. His high vibrational energy for life and the gratitude he holds resonates outwards - this is the key to his ultra racing successes, his business successes, and why he sleeps like a king - and why he believes you should sleep naked...

Another key point to take away is that Tommy never puts a price tag on his health - Yes sir Tommy! We believe that when you start to skimp out on the best in regards to the food or medical professionals you interact with, you are only selling yourself short of your true potential and longevity.

What's your health goal... Why not start now? Let's rock this!
