Ways to deal with your nerves on dates and learn from the person you are with
Debunking narcissism, codependency and one person's ability to change a partnership

Quotes

"That's a big part of the idea of the book. Two people, a two-person psychological system, based on fairness, justice, sensitivity, collaboration, and cooperation, a shared power working together to protect each other from the environment that has always been dangerous." (9:47)

"Were radically loyal, we are radically devoted to each other, and this provides a different kind of love. That is very different from what we normally think of, it is an earned love day in and day out." (17:46)

"Look for somebody who really is a true believer and not someone who is trying to give you a sales pitch. That's the person that is going to be good enough. They could be screwed up, they could be an island or a wave, it doesn't matter as long as they know they are and they know they must reign it in for a fully collaborative relationship. That's the person you're wanting." (30:16)

"State drives and influences memory, memory drives and influences state, and state alters perception. People remember that that is what is happening to us." (44:19)

And if we can learn to be more skillful at supporting ourselves and soothing ourselves and understanding what is really happening, then it really gives us a leg up." (20:29

Many of us, including yours truly, were told from a young age that your metabolism is something that you are either cursed or blessed with, and there was no way to change it. Dr. Alan Christianson is here to explain why this couldn't be further from the truth and provide simple and effective ways to get healthier, heal your metabolism and even drop a few dress sizes while you are at it.

038: You Don't Have To Be Happy All The Time w/ Razi Berry May 19, 2019

Show notes

In our popular culture, a life filled with positivity seen through rose-colored glasses seems to be the ideal standard. I argue that by not acknowledging the negative emotions of being human, we are actually doing harm to our mental and physical health. It is proven that those who resist exploring their negative emotions increase their risk for cardiovascular disease, stroke, and many other chronic illnesses. Only by facing our feelings of injustice and expressing them in a healthy way can we truly let go of the toxicity and heal our minds and bodies.

Today I explain how ignoring your negative emotions could be suppressing your digestive and reproductive systems, ways that smothering your negative emotions could be impacting your hormone levels and fight or flight response, and how to listen to what your negative emotions are trying to tell you in order to reconnect to your nervous system, plus much more.

Instead of pretending your negative emotions don't exist, try taking the good feelings with the bad to find true self-acceptance. Listen to your emotions and allow yourself to really feel how you react to these emotions to understand what your emotions are moving you to do.

Do you feel the tool that negative thoughts and feelings are playing on your health? Share with us in the comments on the episode page.

In This Episode

Acknowledging that the negative emotions you experience are there for a reason
Refined strategies to accept and cope with your negative thoughts and feelings
The importance of bracing all of the emotions in the human experience
Understanding the different physiological symptoms of sadness
Why you should start facing your negative emotions to decrease your risk of death

Quotes

"Research shows that allowing ourselves to accept and experience emotions like anger and sadness is imperative to our mental and physical health." (2:34)

"Real life can get messy, right? And the negative emotions that we experience are just as vital as the positive ones in helping us understand the natural cycles of life." (5:59)

"When we don't accept, evaluate and express our emotions, however bad they may seem, these emotions can lead to stress and anxiety that eventually becomes a chronic illness." (10:06)

"Instead of pretending that they don't exist, let this be a reminder to allow yourself to embrace in the negative emotions that we all feel from time to time." (16:30)

037: Mind-Body Perspective on Endometriosis w/ Dr. Laura Belus May 16, 2019

Show notes

I don't know about you, but every day I feel the connection between the mind and body growing stronger. The mind-body continuum plays a huge role in women's health and how the body was designed to heal itself. Dr. Laura Belus knows this all too well as a naturopathic doctor specializing in health optimization, hormone balance, skin health, and anti-aging medicine.

Today Dr. Laura is here to shed some light on ways that you can optimize your hormones and use your intuition to guide you towards the right treatment for you. Dr. Laura believes in the individual's ability to find common patterns and identify what is working for their body, and what is not, to find the right mode of healing for you. Learn how the immune system and thyroid can be connected to your hormone concentration, the connection between the way your body deals with environmental triggers and stress, and understanding the correlation between psychological issues and chronic pain.

Hormone imbalance is steadily increasing in women both young and mature, and it takes some effort to figure out how your changing progesterone and estrogen levels could be impacting your health. If you are struggling to piece together how your HPA access, adrenal functions, daily stressors, and cortisol levels are impacting your pelvic pain, Dr. Laura is the expert for you.

If you continue to plague your system with daily stressors, excess estrogen or toxic chemicals you will never be able to set your body up for success. Listen to Dr. Laura's advice and learn how to create a personal plan to start you on a path to optimal hormonal health and recovery.

How do pay attention to the way your mind and body are connected? Share your strategies with us in the comments on the episode page.

In This Episode

Understanding the role estrogen and progesterone play in balancing your hormones
Why the thyroid is the first organ to be affected by perimenopause and stress
Practices that you can use to deal with psychological and physical pelvic symptoms
Exploring solutions for increased depression and anxiety related to endometriosis
How early traumas can play a role in how your reproductive system manifests
Testing your nutrient levels, thyroid, and inflammatory markers to measure health

Quotes

"It was really the understanding of how to treat and nurture my body from the inside out to keep those results and to keep my health optimal, that was life-changing." (4:38)

"Our own intuition and our own knowledge of our body and our symptoms are the guiding force, or should be ideally." (6:16)

"We can definitely see someone going through chronic pain as a whole cascade and a whole downstream effect of mental and emotional concerns and challenges, especially if they are not being supported by their healthcare team and of course their loved ones." (19:46)

"These are things that women can start to do right out of the gate, and start to feel empowered about what they are putting into their bodies." (29:01)

"This idea that the mind and body are connected is so valuable as an underlying philosophy, but this testing really brings the information to the forefront of how our environment is individually affecting us." (33:09)

036: The Truth About Birth Control w/ Dr. Jolene Brighten May 12, 2019

Show notes

Many of us know the hormonal birth control pill as a fix to common issues many women face such as irregular periods, acne, painful cramps, and more. But the potentially dangerous side effects of birth control, paired with our misunderstanding and lack of knowledge surrounding these prescriptions, have caused chaos in many women's bodies. Dr. Jolene Brighten acknowledged the need to do more research and has since started asking the tough questions to fight for women's autonomy over her own body.

A functional naturopathic doctor, nutritional biochemist and author of Beyond the Pill, Dr. Jolene Brighten is here to drop some major knowledge on the 'pill to fix every ill' and why you should be trying to fix your hormones without birth control. Learn ways to recover your nutrient storage and gut health, which areas of the body hormonal birth control affects the most, and habits that you can develop to support your body through post birth control syndrome.

Women are often dismissed or misdiagnosed when presenting symptoms to their general practitioner and are given birth control as a band-aid. In reality, hormonal birth control is chemical castration that can interrupt your bodies natural cyclical physiology, and can affect everything from your brain chemistry to mood, libido, and relationships. Dr. Brighten is breaking down the walls and empowering you with the knowledge you need to get to know what works for your body.

It is time to stop messing with your body and let it tell you what it needs to be supported and thrive. How does Dr. Brighten's research relate to your own health struggles? What do you suffer from the most surrounding hormonal birth control? Share with us in the comments on the episode page!

In This Episode

Illustrating the historical lack of respect for women's bodies and women's medicine
How hormonal birth control impacts everything from your brain to your gut health
Practices to help re-establish the communication between your brain and your ovaries
Exploring the connection between stress, anxiety and hormonal birth control
Ways to build a user manual of your body to stop others doubting your symptoms

Quotes

"While medicine likes to compartmentalize things, the body doesn't care. Everything is connected." (10:37)

"If we don't want a baby, that unintended pregnancy becomes our decision to make because we can't just walk away from our body. But really, if you want to go upstream… it's actually sperm meeting egg... so why is it me that has to be medicated every day?" (16:01)

"I've heard from multiple pharmacists, 'once we see a woman pick up her birth control pill prescription, what we see next is either a proton pump inhibitor, thyroid medication or an anxiety and depression medication, it is just a matter of time before she is back in for the next medication'." (20:29)

"Preventative medicine is everything, and preventative medicine isn't a pap smear, that's a screening exam. Preventative medicine is what you do every single day in your life." (31:20)

"That's the difference. Naturopathic philosophy comes in and says well what is the obstacle that is keeping your body from doing what it should be doing. Whereas the allopathic philosophy is what can I do to basically strongarm your body into submission." (35:01)

035: How To Battle Against Pelvic Pain w/ Dr. Jessica Drummond May 09, 2019

Show notes

Dr. Jessica Drummond is the founder of the Integrative Women's Health Institute and is passionate about empowering women who struggle with chronic pelvic pain conditions and hormonal imbalances. A women's health specialist and pelvic floor know it all, Dr. Jessica is here today to share how she was able to heal her own pelvic pain through nutritional and lifestyle medicine.

Because our bodies are so interconnected, different physiological symptoms can often come together creating pain in the pelvic area. This can lead to endometriosis, painful sex or vulvodynia, muscle dysfunction, and more. Instead of placing a bandaid on your pain, Dr. Jessica provides exercises and nutritional resources that can help relax the muscles of your pelvic floor and reduce your symptoms.

Learn what vitamins and minerals are an essential part of your diet if you want to repair your pelvic muscles, exercises that go far beyond Kegels to help relax and strengthen your pelvic floor, and ways to regain your fertility through lifestyle changes. You may be carrying tension in your pelvic floor without realizing it, incorrectly absorbing your nutrients, or even pooping less than biomechanically desirable. When you can get comfortable with getting connected to the muscles in your pelvic floor, you can heal your pelvic pain naturally and support the reduction of your symptoms.

What new information did you learn from Dr. Jessica? Share with us in the comments on the episode page!

In This Episode

Understanding the autoimmune component to vulvodynia and other pelvic floor pain
The most common clinical issues with the pelvic area and digestive irritation
Which pelvic floor muscle training moves you should be doing based on your symptoms
Balancing the colon microbiome to improve your vaginal microbiome health
Nutrition tips to help get your digestion back on track and stop your pelvic floor pain

Quotes

"If you just help women become wholly healthy, spiritually, emotionally, biochemically, physiologically, biomechanically, then their pelvic pain can be resolved from the root." (8:53)

"Painful bladder is challenging in a number of different ways, but I always start with digestion, because I think in the case of vulvodynia and painful bladder syndrome there is an inflammatory component for sure." (15:04)

"A c-section is the only major abdominal surgery where you get no rehab and you are immediately sent home to care for a newborn." (22:18)

"Clinically I see a lot of things like plastic exposure. I had a client who lived in the Middle East, super hot, who was always wearing plastic flip flops. And taking that away changed her chronic estrogen dominance." (39:42)

Show notes

Elaine Glass has sat with over 30,000 patients throughout her prior 30-year career as a dental hygienist, and her current work as a Certified Master Life Coach, advisor, and speaker. After making the connection between her innate sensibility to calm her dental patients into a slumber through energy fields, and the ending of her own unhappy marriage, Elaine realized she needed to take her gifts to the world and help others live a life of purpose too.

Today Elaine works with her clients, including yours truly, to help fully realize their ability to love yourself and leap. Listen in as Elaine shares her wisdom on how to see your own greatness, ways to stop settling for a mediocre existence, and how to peel away the layers of busyness in your life to gain emotional and mental clarity.

When we experience trauma or loss, our energy fields become fragmented, resulting in us feeling lost and alone. Elaine provides ways to get through these dark and stormy moments and tools to find peace and surrender to the uncertainty. By sitting in your own quiet you can find truth in your stillness and summon your voice so you can ask for what you need and stop settling.

You may have hidden inherent talents that could create a positive impact on the world, but the storms in which you are choosing are shaking up your life in the wrong way. Elaine is the perfect expert to help you get your life in a place for true inner peace and health, as long as you are willing to do the work.

Are you ready to stop settling and find love within yourself? Share your thoughts on this episode in the comments section on the episode page.

Simple exercises to help you ground yourself and find healthy ways to reattach
Finding your identity and truth through a healthy relationship with yourself
Examining what may be keeping you from showing up to fully support others
Reconnecting with your inner wisdom by removing the representatives in your relationships

Quotes

"I had a lot of things, but I didn't have what really mattered the most, and that was love and connection." (12:06)

"The pattern is always settling. Settling for things that don't serve us, settling in a job or relationship or anything in life that doesn't feel within the integrity of who we are." (14:08)

"When we go through a loss or something that really shakes us, the energy fragments, it splits. So how do we get that back so that it's strong again? Those are the things I teach as well." (20:45)

"It's about what can we peel back, what can we let go of and stop controlling, in order to allow what is supposed to come in." (26:34)

"That's when you can begin to show someone that you meet, anyone, who you are because you know who you are. You know what lights you up again, you know what you are great at, and you can come in love and in value and you are a giver." (38:44)

033: Loving Yourself To Mind-Body Health w/ Dr. Benjamin Alter May 02, 2019

Show notes

Just like when we bruise a knee or break a bone, your mind has the ability to heal itself in the same way your body does. So why as a society have we been conditioned to believe that healing is an external thing, something that does not exist inside of us? Dr. Benjamin Alter recognized this flawed logic and created Alter Health with his wife Susanna, to help their patients be reintroduced to the amazing healing powers of our own conscious.

By honoring the bodies innate ability to heal itself and evolving your diet and lifestyle practices to tune into your body-mind awareness, Dr. Benjamin believes that you can reconnect to the eternal trust of your body and experience a greater sense of wholeness. When viewing your physical symptoms as blocks that come between you and your healing path, you can trust your body to move through these expressions with ease.

On this episode, Dr. Benjamin shares his incredibly pure view of naturopathic medicine, how to cease your toxic and destructive behaviors through forgiveness, and why we should look at the mind of toddlers as the perfect example for mental resilience. By focusing on your healing environment, becoming okay with letting go of expectations and judgments, and allowing yourself the freedom to have fresh insights, you can cure what ails you and evolve your spiritual immune system to navigate with more clarity and confidence in your life.

True healing happens in the real world, not inside of a test tube or double-blind study. When you are able to limit the contamination you feed your body and mind and stop projecting your expectations onto the future, you will learn how to harness your power in the present moment to leverage the change you want to see in the world.

How does Dr. Benjamin's view of what it means to heal holistically align with your viewpoints? Share with us in the comments on the episode page.

In This Episode

Allowing yourself to follow the eternal laws of nature to find natural healing solutions
Stepping fully into yourself and allowing your body to live into your greatest potential
Remembering what it is like to connect with your innate toddler resilience
Ways to allow your thoughts and emotions to pass through you instead of control you
Finding trust in your body again by tapping into your awareness and vitalism

Quotes

"We live in a society and a culture where we are born to believe in many ways that we don't have the answers, we must rely on some sort of external source of information or healing power or medicine to help us belong in our journey." (5:18)

"We're not just talking about how good is your cholesterol or are your hormones balanced, we're talking about what are you doing with your life, are you using your healthy body to live into your fullest potential?" (9:33)

"Our Earth is getting really sick, and its no question as to why the inhabitants of the Earth are also becoming sick." (17:01)

"The mind heals itself just like the body does and all we have to do is take a step back and let the mind do what it does best and let the thoughts detox out of our awareness." (33:39)

"As adults, we learn to try and pick and choose what we feel, how we feel, when we feel it, and that's simply not in our control. And the more we try and pick and choose and force what we feel... the more we set ourselves up for suffering." (37:07)
