Episode 140: The Healing Power of Forgiveness Nov 24, 2018

Show notes

Improving your health is a healing process and while the wellness industry talks a lot about lifestyle behaviors that can help to accelerate the healing process like nutrition, exercise, recovery etc., we aren't hearing enough about the healing power of things like gratitude, compassion, and forgiveness.

Studies have found that the act of forgiveness can reap huge rewards for your health, lowering the risk of heart attack; improving cholesterol levels and sleep, improve immunity; and reducing pain, blood pressure, and levels of anxiety, depression, and stress.

Listen to this episode of the Grace & Grit Podcast for more about the healing properties of forgiveness.

Episode 139: Appreciate Your Way to Better Health Nov 17, 2018

While you most certainly cannot hate or abuse your way into a state of better health, you CAN appreciate your way there.

I have long believed, and research certainly supports, that gratitude is the gateway to a healthier and more fulfilling life, and in this episode of the Grace & Grit Podcast, I talk about why we struggle to be grateful more often and what we can do to build a more robust gratitude muscle.

Episode 138: Parenting Yourself: The Secret to a Healthy & Joyful Holiday Season Nov 10, 2018

Show notes

Maybe you don't have children, but you were once a child. And as a child, you likely had someone in your life who helped you to set boundaries, make healthy decisions and instill in you the importance of love and respect.

Somewhere along the line of the aging process, you declared yourself an adult and no longer in need of parenting. As an adult, you do still need parenting, it is just now, that responsibility becomes yours.

In this episode of the Grace & Grit Podcast, I talk about the importance of parenting yourself if you want to improve any aspect of your life and if you don't want to lose yourselves in the chaos of the holiday season.

Episode 137: Redefining the Holidays Nov 03, 2018

Show notes

Just because you have always done something a certain way does not mean you have to keep doing it that way. In fact, if what you are doing is depleting you, it is high time you consider changing it.

And this is certainly the case with the holiday season for many women. Many women end up feeling exhausted, sick and a little resentful at the end of the holiday season because, yet again, they committed to too much and failed to preserve any time or energy for themselves.

In this episode of the Grace & Grit Podcast, I talk about a process I use with clients to help them redefine how they want the holidays to look and feel so they can maintain their health and their sanity.

Episode 135: Understanding Hormones via the DUTCH Test w/ Dr. Debbie Rice Oct 20, 2018

Show notes

Hormones are a topic we have talked a lot about on the Grace & Grit Podcast because let's face it – hormones govern your body – and if they aren't in their happy place…well…neither are you!

As I have crossed over the threshold of 40, I have become a lot more curious about the state of my own hormones. I feel amazing, but there are months when my PMS is simply out of control. My breasts hurt, I am reactive and I just feel like my body is not my own.

I have been hearing about the DUTCH Test for a few years now (DUTCH stands for Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones), which you can do in the comfort of your own home.

The Dutch Test is being used by more and more physicians to remedy hormonal challenges in patients and has been endorsed by well known medical experts like Kris Kessler, Dr. Joesph Mercola, Dr. Ben Lynch, Christiane Northrup, and Sara Gottfriend.

When I asked my awesome Naturopathic physician, Elizabeth Stegmaier, about it she encouraged me to have the testing done not just for my benefit but to be able to educate you the listeners about the value of this type of testing. Not only has Dr. Stegmaier personally been using the Dutch test for years with her own patients, but she just happens to be friends with the top clinical advisors to the product, one of which agreed to join me on the podcast today, Dr. Debbie Rice.

Episode 134: Hormones & Metabolic Health w/ Dr. Jade Teta Oct 13, 2018

Show notes

The metabolism is often discussed in fitness and diet spaces as ONLY an energy equation and, while energy does matter (how much energy you are consuming vs how much you are expending), there are so many other factors that influence metabolic health, namely, HORMONES.

Dr. Jade Teta has been helping women improve their metabolic function for years and his work has been especially impactful for women trying to understand the metabolic and hormonal challenges that often arise within the years between peri-menopause and post-menopause.

We cover a ton of ground in this interview, including:

How to better understand YOUR unique metabolism.
The power "rest based living" has to positively influence women's hormones.
Why joy matters to your hormonal and metabolic health.
Respecting carbohydrates as you age.
Why weight training is an invaluable exercise modality, especially for women.

…and so much more!
