We all have those regrets about things we wish we had done or known sooner in life, don't we?
Lately, I've been having some fun on my podcasts by asking guests what advice they would share with their younger selves. The answers have been so surprising and insightful!
It made me think about what advice I would give my 25-year-old self.
I'd tell her:
I hate to admit that I've spent a considerable chunk of my adulthood making decisions based on fear.
Fear complicates, and truth liberates.
I wish I would have understood that in my younger years.
But it's never too late, and I can tell you that cancer changed me.
I had a choice of being frozen by fear or pushing the pause button when fearful thoughts came rushing in. Pushing the pause button, for me, meant taking a moment to breathe, ask more questions, gather more information, and not get caught up in the whirlwind of fearful thoughts.
I can't say that I never go down the rabbit hole of scary thoughts, but it happens much less often than it used to! That's progress, baby.
Listen to today's podcast if you're ready to conquer fear with simple tips. My interview with guest Jamie Winship transformed my life.

Welcome back to part two of my conversation with Dr. Josh Axe! Last week, Dr. Axe discussed the challenges he faced during a dark season of his life, when he was unable to walk for an entire year. Despite this adversity, he channeled his time and energy into writing his latest book, "Think of This and Not That."
Today, our talk takes a turn as we explore the connection between mindset, healing, and joy. Dr. Axe discusses the important role the mind plays in recovery and how cultivating a positive mindset can have transformative effects on the body and spirit.
So, grab a cozy seat and prepare to be inspired by Dr. Axe's insights into the power of the mind in fostering healing and embracing joy.

I love answering questions! And, well, I also love reflecting, so there you go ;)
Let's start with the questions I received this month:
Questions:
1: How do I train myself to stay calm?
I am making an effort to stay in a peaceful state. I focus on pressing the pause button before I respond, remembering to pause and take intentional breaths. I learned these techniques from reading the book Breath. Additionally, I move my body several times daily and stand during work calls or podcast recordings. I also take 1-2 exercise classes each week.
I also use essential oils such as lavender and "calming" blend I buy from Young Living Oils (link below!).
Resources:
Dwell Bible App
Essential oils, young living
Class Pass
Breath, The New Science of a Lost Art (book)
2: How do I transition from summer to fall with food, activity, and self-care?
I transition from salads to warmer foods such as grilled veggies, protein, and soups.
I still go outside every morning, rain or shine, and look toward the sunrise, as this helps reset my circadian rhythm, which helps me fall asleep faster and stay asleep.
I use Class Pass to stay active, which allows me to move my workouts inside if the weather is terrible. I can also use Class Pass while traveling to try different workouts. I love it!
I protect my sleeping environment by lowering the lights at night and wearing my blue light blockers (this helps my body produce more melatonin).
We also use an Air Doctor machine in our bedroom; I bought one because so many people I respect in this field were talking about them, and I love it! And it provides a little white noise as well, a win-win.

You know what? Making your home less toxic can be quite a puzzle! I never even thought about hidden toxins in my home until I chatted with some guests on my podcast. It got me thinking about where these toxins might be hiding.
To keep things manageable, I decided to tackle it one room at a time. I also didn't want to toss out stuff I loved and paid good money for, even if they were "just a little toxic."
And what does "just a little toxic" actually mean? HELP!
That's why I started looking for a lower-cost way to detox my home.
And that's how I found Ron and Lisa Beres, the Healthy Home Dream Team.
Lisa's life turned upside down after she became severely ill from exposure to toxins in a newly remodeled home. On her healing journey, she discovered simple and inexpensive ways to detox your home, office, and probably the most crucial room for women: the bathroom! Did you know that women are exposed to hundreds of toxins (beauty products) before leaving the house in the morning? UGH!

Clearing the Path: Eliminating Toxic Relationships for a Better Life
When your button pusher walks toward you, do you pretend not to see them?
Okay, maybe it's just me!
Before cancer, I had a handful of toxic people in my life. I didn't spend a lot of time with them, but when I did see them, I could feel my anxiety rising even before we got together!
When today's podcast guest, Dr. Jantz, mentioned that he wanted to do a podcast about the impact of toxic people on our health, I was all in!
Spending time with toxic people can affect your health in the following ways:
How do you move the toxic people out of your life, especially if they are family members?
Dr. Jantz suggested having a friend or spouse nearby when dealing with difficult family members at events. If you get upset, use a pre-agreed safe word to signal for support in removing yourself from the situation. With some pre-planning, you can avoid getting caught up in their negativity.
Listen to today's podcast to hear the rest of Dr. J.'s tips on dealing with toxic people.
Dr. Jantz is the founder of The Center A Place of HOPE in Edmonds, Washington, voted a Top Ten facility for Depression Treatment in the United States. Dr. Jantz pioneered Whole Person Care in the 1980s and is a world-renowned expert on depression, anxiety, eating disorders, technology addiction, and abuse.
Dr. Jantz is a best-selling author of 40 books and a go-to media authority on mental and behavioral health afflictions, appearing on CBS, ABC, NBC, Fox, and CNN.

Take a Chill Pill.
Oh Lord, help me to relax and push the pause button.
Today's guest, Dr. Natalie Greenberg from The Center for New Medicine, explained how important it is for my health to hit the pause button. She also mentioned that when life gets overwhelming, It's crucial to pause and take a deep breath before reacting to any situation.
Her words spoke to me.
I tend to be an "over-responder." I might get irritated with someone before I have all the information about a situation. I might wake up upset because of a restless night, and my negative thoughts kick in, telling me how tough the day will be.
How could my life be different if, instead of following my default of reacting, I took a minute, slowed down my breathing, pushed the pause button, gathered my thoughts, and then responded INSTEAD of reacting?
Nervous System: This would help my body stay in a parasympathetic state (the rest and digest state), so my body wouldn't produce as many stress hormones. This means I'd have lower levels of inflammation and, honestly, better relationships!
Immune System: Staying calm supports the immune system and allows your body to produce more "happy hormones," such as serotonin and melatonin, which means you fall asleep faster.
The Joy Factor: thinking the best about people means I look for joy everywhere I go. When I see someone wearing a cute outfit or making me a fabulous matcha latte, I PRAISE THEM!
The Bible says, to the best of my abilities, be at peace with people at all times.
Pro tip: The scripture above says that, to the best of my abilities, sometimes it's impossible to be at peace with some people, and you know what? That's okay, too. The older I get, the more I realize my gift to people is letting them be who they are.
Dr. Natalie Greenberg, a licensed naturopathic doctor, is dedicated to empowering individuals to achieve optimal health. Her journey began after a battle with Lyme disease and mold exposure, leading her to explore the world of natural healing.
After receiving her undergraduate degree from Columbia University, Dr. Greenberg pursued naturopathic medicine at Bastyr University. There, she gained expertise in various areas, including pediatrics, gynecology, cardiology, autoimmune diseases, and mental health. Her training also encompassed holistic therapies like nutrition, IV therapy, homeopathy, and craniosacral therapy.
During her final year of school, Dr. Greenberg worked closely with Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy, a renowned expert in cancer care. Together, they focused on providing adjunctive care for cancer patients, helping them navigate their healing journey.
Driven by her personal experience with Lyme disease and mold, Dr. Greenberg is passionate about supporting patients with these conditions. She offers functional medicine approaches to address the root causes of their symptoms and promote overall well-being. Additionally, she is committed to supporting individuals with early-stage cancer, providing adjunctive care alongside conventional treatments.
Dr. Greenberg's holistic approach to healthcare aligns with the mission of preventive medicine and human optimization. She believes in empowering individuals to take control of their health and live their best lives.

We often see cancer as a purely physical issue, but within holistic healing, today’s guest believes that the healing is deeply spiritual.
I’m thrilled about today's podcast episode featuring the remarkable Dr. Katie Deming. As an oncologist, former healthcare leader, inventor, author, and podcast host, Dr. Deming has a wealth of knowledge to offer. My recent exploration led me to her captivating TEDx talk, leaving me in awe of her insights. Known as the "Conscious Oncologist," Dr. Deming has piqued my curiosity, and I'm eager to go into the intriguing aspects of her journey and expertise.
I am excited about this soul-nourishing episode!

I prefer Simplicity. But of course, when I see a recipe or hear about a simple health tip, I often wonder if it will work.
That's why today's podcast impacted me. Dr. Stephen Hussey, author of Understanding the Heart, loves to focus on simple tips to improve health.
He had a heart attack at the age of 34 while he was writing his book about heart health. As you can imagine, that certainly got his attention!
We talked about the ways he's changed his life today after that heart attack.
What did we discuss? One is the impact of unnatural lighting on our health. Staying inside, under fluorescent lights, a lack of activity, and processed foods all significantly contribute to our health.
We also had a great discussion about the circadian rhythm. When you're sleeping, your body runs surveillance and gets rid of and cleans up all the damaged cells. It's almost impossible to be well if you're not sleeping well.
Give today's podcast a listen to hear Dr. Hussey's easy tips to improve your health without breaking the bank!

Want a peek at the top three questions I get asked every week?
I've changed dramatically since my cancer diagnosis in 2020.
Before my diagnosis, I thought I was "nailing" my health. I worked out hard, ate lots of salads, and monitored my weight.
Here's what I wasn't "nailing" rest, sleep, stress management, forgiveness, and community.
These are crazy concepts to hear from a certified nutritionist who'd been in the health field for over thirty years! Forgiveness? Community?
When I got my Health Science and Exercise Physiology degree and my two-year nutrition certification, I learned what foods to eat to avoid disease and what foods to eat to manage disease.
Life has taught me that my thoughts can be as important as what I eat and that forgiveness is a gift for you, not for the person who hurt you.
And that your community is one of the most essential parts of staying healthy and thriving!
In this episode, I talk about:

Sleeping! UGH, I am a work in progress on this one. A couple of things I'm doing now: I wear a pair of goofy-looking blue light blockers 2-3 hours before bed. WHY, you might be asking yourself? Because the light we see at night from our screens kills our melatonin production, making sleep much more challenging.
These glasses Eliminate 100% of blue and green light between 400-550 nm, boosting evening melatonin production and regulating your circadian rhythm. These clip onto my glasses so I can use them on my distance glasses for watching movies or my readers if I have to hop on my phone.
