Well Being, Well Said.

Meet Carissa Stanton aka @broccyourbody. Carissa currently live in Los Angeles, CA and runs her food blog full time! She graduated from San Diego State with a degree in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Fitness, Health, and Nutrition. She is a huge advocate for fitness and healthy eating and says she has been in love with food for as long as she can remember. Carissa learned how to cook from basically anyone who would let her follow them around in the kitchen- parents, aunts & uncles, neighbors, friend’s parents, you name it. Her passion and love for all things food combined with her nutrition and wellness background gave birth to Carissa's page: @broccyourbody.

In this episode, we speak openly and honestly about topics such as finding/creating confidence, the toxicity of the multi-billion dollar diet industry, making friends as an adult, and much more. Perfect at combining the glamorous life of an influencer with that of the "every day gal", Carissa is easy to like. My hope is that while listening to this episode, you feel as though you're sitting across the table from us, drink in hand, chit-chatting with your girlfriends. Ideally, you'll leave this conversation feeling seen, uplifted, understood, and more positive than when you came!

Taylor Somerville founded Symmetry after working in the investment business for 15 years. Taylor discovered breath work as a way to deal with the stress and anxiety in his personal and professional life. Through breath work, he was able to learn how to respond to stressful situations in a productive manner rather than reacting.

In 2017, after seeing the positive changes in himself, Taylor felt a calling to help others improve their own stress management, anxiety, athletic performance, and overall health and wellness. We all struggle with these issues at some point in our lives but there are tools we can use to better prepare ourselves to handle stress. Now, Taylor focuses on teaching you these tools to empower yourself. Through Symmetry, he helps busy people take back control of their lives so they have more time, more energy, and less stress!

Taylor is affiliated with XPT, founded by Laird Hamilton and Gabby Reece. Through XPT, Taylor gained extensive knowledge into breath work, heat and ice contrast therapy, and XPT’s breath, move and recover lifestyle. In 2018, Taylor became one of the first XPT certified coaches and recently became one of the first master coaches. As a master coach, Taylor is certifying the next generation of XPT level 1 coaches.

Mallorie Mokros is a licensed nurse practitioner providing Botox, Dysport, filler, PRP and various other cosmetic procedures at one of Nashville's most popular clinics, Skin Pharm. 

At the beginning of this episode, we dive in to Mallorie's educational/vocational background and also how her own health journey led her to where she is today. After being diagnosed with diabetes at the young age of 20, Mal realized she had no choice but to take control of her health. She is an advocate for healthy eating, exercise, & getting plenty of sleep- all things that heavily impact the appearance of our skin. Though a personal fan of cosmetic enhancements herself, she knows that if her health is not in line, she'll quickly see the negative effect in her complexion. 

Mallorie did a great job explaining to me what exactly is in Botox/filler, who needs what treatments, when and how often we should be getting these treatments, and why the heck are some of us nervous to even admit that we get any work done at all?! Whether you are considering trying a new procedure for the first time or you'd consider yourself a seasoned pro, I promise you'll learn something through this episode that you didn't know before!

Jenn Trepeck has been described as a "force of nature" in the wellness space. She is an Optimal Health Coach, Podcaster, and Business Consultant. Jenn grew up the "skinny one" in a family of dieters which was awesome(!) until it went away. And so began her weight management saga. Ultimately though, Jenn learned the nutrition education we're all supposed to know but no one ever taught us. This completely changed her life and is what allows her to truthfully say she has "kicked her food issues". From then, Jenn set out on a mission to pay it forward and help people help themselves. After over a decade of working with clients, Jenn started Salad With a Side of Fries podcast. Based on science, yet still lighthearted, Jenn talks about living life while still making ourselves and our health a priority.

I love Jenn's scientific yet realistic approach towards weight loss and weight management. She isn't trying to sell some bogus "magic pill", but she does know her stuff. At the same time, she knows that life is more than a regimented "plan", and that we sometimes need to simply take life and various dining experiences as they come. If you're interested in learning more about burning fat, healthily losing weight (and keeping it off), this episode is for you.

I'm so excited to start incorporating more of these fun, laid-back, "wellness checks" with my friends and family! On today's episode, I caught up with my cousin Julia Perkins. We talk about our current sense of overwhelm as we venture back into the "real world" post quarantine. We also reflect on current pop culture topics of conversation - from Demi Lovato to Zac Efron, we're sharing allll of our thoughts and feels. Mental health, relationship adjustments, plastic surgery... nothing is off limits. 

Can you relate to any of the mentioned scenarios/emotions/circumstances? Did something we said resonate with you? If so, let's connect on Instagram and continue the conversation!

Meet Shae Leonard: A certified Physician Assistant, practicing functional medicine health coaching as a mental health, hormone and gut expert! Shae was first introduced to functional medicine at a young age by her mentor and Aunt, Dr. Cynthia Coor, while struggling with a variety of health concerns at the age of 16 years old. After seeing countless specialists and a myriad of prescription medications that led to side effects and worsening symptoms, at the age of 17 years old she began to advocate and research for herself, which ultimately led her to pursue medicine as  a career as a way to help those with a similar story. Years later, she met her friend and mentor, a functional medicine specialist and pharmacist who ran specialized testing and found various root causes of the symptoms she was experiencing. Personalized protocols for hormone and gut reset, quickly led Shae to being free of brain fog, exercising daily, sleeping through the night and experiencing little to no GI complaints with energy for days. She has been forever changed by this experience and knew she needed to use this knowledge to help others. Shae began to practice in Psychiatry where she learned how to optimize one's genetics, improve mental health resilience through meditation, amino acid therapy, sleep hygiene, nutrition and exercise.
