The Divisive Nature of Nutrition, Fitness and Health with Joe Eiben Feb 22, 2024

Show notes

Today on the podcast I'm talking with my friend Joe Eiben, this is his fourth time on the podcast. We are talking about polarity in fitness and nutrition. I just love Joe and his perspective on all things. Joe is a Psychotherapist, Professional Coach, Holistic Nutritionist, Writer and yogi.

We dive into how our cultural is living with anxiety and overwhelm as a base and we can't exhale. We are at war from an internal and external standpoint and it's due to a lack of meaningful connection with others. We can't eliminate it, we have to figure out how to work around it. We have to have a lot of patience and grace with ourselves.

We talk about steps to help ourselves and the first is acceptance of yourself, second is to act like the person you want to be, and most importantly try not to over complicate things. This is an amazing conversation, Joe is so insightful and knowledgeable and I think you're going to love it and relate to it. When we know better, we can do better and embrace what we can control and have a say in.

If you want to work with Joe, the best place to do so is his website and you can find that HERE. (joeeiben.com)

Do I Have Gut Issues with Lisa Deluca Feb 08, 2024

Show notes

Today on Far From Perfect we are talking to nutrition coach Lisa Deluca, who also happens to be a coach within Elemental Coaching, on what's the deal with gut health? How does it effect us as a whole. You don't know how good you can feel, until you do!! Lisa goes over the two ways to help/"fix' you gut; restoration or an elimination diet. Restoration is going to do an overall haul of your gut and require a stool sample. An elimination diet is a great place to start just to see how you feels. She tells us about Good bacteria(which should occupy about 80%) and Bad bacteria(which should occupy 20%). How most people have this reversed, so you can understand where the problem lies, when your rations are out of whack. She give us a few suggested supplements, with the advice of 'you get what you pay for'. Keeping in mind that a probiotic doesn't need to be refrigerated, but should be spore based. Gut health and nutrition can go hand in hand, and while correcting your nutrition can move mountains, sometimes there are underlying issues that need to be addressed.

Hysterectomy Recovery & Women's Health with Dr. Jocelyn Wallace Feb 02, 2024

Show notes

Jocelyn is a Doctor of Physical Therapy, pelvic floor specialist and Level 2 Crossfit Trainer. She specializes in helping women get back to fitness after a hysterectomy, myomectomy or endometriosis excision without pain, prolapse or peeing themselves. Jocelyn was inspired to do this work through her own experience with uterine fibroids. Having 3 open abdominal surgeries between 26 and 32 years old, she saw the lack of resources for women healing from these major operations. Women deserve better support.

Today we are discussing all the things you guys! We start off talking about hysterectomies, endometriosis, adenomyosis, what these are, and that having these surgeries doesn't mean you life is over, you can find a path back to life, lifting and all the things, and that's where Jocelyn comes in.

We also discuss prolapse, what It is, when it begins and what we can do about it. How and where hormone therapy fits in. To be clear hormone therapy can't work if you're not supporting yourself with adequate nutrition. Strength Training is the magic pill!!!

You can work with Dr. Jocelyn through her 90 day revival program for people who've had the above surgeries, you can also give her a follow on instagram @drjocelynwallace.
