Today’s guest, Giovanni Bartolomeo, is a full-spectrum entrepreneur, personal development coach and breathwork instructor who holds a deep reverence for the power plant medicine. After establishing himself within his multifaceted, but more traditional, career path—with a wife, kids and a nice BMW in the driveway—Gio realized that he still felt empty inside. Not too long after that, he found himself amidst a plant medicine ceremony in a foreign country, at which point his family and friends became fully convinced that he had lost his mind. Slowly, but surely, Gio’s shifted demeanor and outlook on life became undeniably apparent and the people around him began to listen. He’s since assumed the role of spiritual teacher, with the aim of helping others find a similar type of fulfillment and purpose for themselves.In this episode of The Wellness Witch Podcast:How Gio was influenced by the constant hustle and grind of his Italian cultureThe google search that changed the course of Gio’s lifeWhat happened after Gio’s documentary film file was corruptedHow he independently developed the elemental breathwork techniquePlant medicine’s impact on Gio and SamanthaThis show is sponsored by:Canprev | Go to canprev.ca Organifi | Go to organifishop.com and save 20% off with code WELLNESSWITCHOrange Naturals | Go to orangenaturals.com and save 15% off with code WELLNESSWITCHEversio | Go to eversiowellness.com and 15% off with code WELLNESSWITCHResources: Think Up | thinkup.meEmail List | holisticwellness.ca/newsletterStress Detox | holisticwellness.ca/stressdetox Naturally Nourished | holisticwellness.ca/naturallynourished | Save $100 at checkout with code PODCASTBusiness Mentorship | samanthagladish.com/mentorshipLead Gen Workshop | holisticwellness.ca/leadgenworkshop Where to find Giovanni:Documentary: Psyched OutInstagram: @elementalgio Website: elementalrhythm.comPersonal Development: personaldevelopmentschool.comPodcast: Elemental GioWhere to find Samantha:Instagram: @holisticwellnesswitchWebsite: holisticwellness.caYouTube: Samantha GladishFacebook: Holistic Wellness FoodieThis show is produced by Soulfire ProductionsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

As health-conscious individuals, we put a great deal of effort into cleaning up our environment. We eat an ancestrally consistent diet, make sure our makeup and cleaning products are non-toxic and avoid plastics like the plague, but we often overlook our clothes. The truth is, our clothing can be just as toxic as these other factors. Today on the show, Samantha invites Kristi Soomer, the founder and CEO of the sustainable slow fashion brand, Encircled, to fill us in on the negative effects of fast fashion on both our environment and hormones. As Kristi describes the ethical and ecological differences between fast and slow fashion, it becomes easy to see why her company, Encircled, is so passionate about making ultra-stylish and comfortable work-leisure clothes in a way that honors its consumers and the planet.In this episode of The Wellness Witch Podcast:From economics to fashion – Kristi’s bootstrapped start to her businessFast fashion vs. Slow fashion Common clothing chemicals to be mindful ofTips for creating a more sustainable closet/capsule wardrobeThis show is sponsored by:Encircled | Go to encircled.ca save 10% off with code WELLNESSWITCHOrganifi | Go to organifishop.com and save 20% off with code WELLNESSWITCHCanprev | Go to canprevwoman.ca to check out PCOS-Pro Ultra ReliefResources: Think Up | thinkup.meNaturally Nourished | holisticwellness.ca/naturallynourishedBusiness Mentorship | samanthagladish.com/mentorshipLead Gen Workshop | holisticwellness.ca/leadgenworkshop Where to find Kristi:Instagram: @encircled_Website: encircled.caWhere to find Samantha:Instagram: @holisticwellnesswitchWebsite: holisticwellness.caYouTube: Samantha GladishFacebook: Holistic Wellness FoodieThis show is produced by Soulfire ProductionsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Hormonal imbalances lie at the root of so many health issues. In today’s solo, Samantha addresses some of the most common hormone-related listener questions, including the difference between progesterone and progestin, the birth control pill, whether or not women should be supplementing with bioidentical hormones and the common misconception that estrogen is the “bad hormone.” Given that our hormones can easily be impacted by so many environmental and dietary factors, it can be a lot to keep straight.

In most cultures around the world, alcohol is the focal point of almost all forms of entertainment. Sports games, comedy shows, concerts–you name it. It’s because alcohol is such an effective antidote to the social anxiety that plagues so many of us in our face-paced, densely populated, modern world. In an effort to break his own patterned use of alcohol and cocaine, Robbie Bent embarked on a ten day vipassana retreat in Israel, followed by multiple plant-medicine ceremonies, and returned home with a new lease on life. These experiences set the trajectory for him to begin helping others benefit in a similar, more accessible way with his own wellness company, Othership. In today’s episode, Robbie tells us how Othership has become an effective, healthy alternative to alcohol-fueled evenings, by providing a new form of entertainment where sauna, ice bath and breathwork are the centerpiece of a fun night out.In this episode of The Wellness Witch Podcast:Robbie’s main takeaways from his 10 day vipassana retreatHow and why Robbie’s company, Othership aims to be an alternative to alcohol-centered eventsThe primary differences between breathwork and meditationDifferent types of breathwork and their effectsThe 5 pillars of health and the benefits of nose-breathing This show is sponsored by:Organifi | Go to organifishop.com/wellnesswitch and save 20% off with code WELLNESSWITCHResources: Think Up | thinkup.meNaturally Nourished | holisticwellness.ca/naturallynourishedBusiness Mentorship | samanthagladish.com/mentorshipLead Gen Workshop | holisticwellness.ca/leadgenworkshop Where to find Robbie:Instagram: @robbiebent @othershipWebsite: othership.usWhere to find Samantha:Instagram: @holisticwellnesswitchWebsite: holisticwellness.caYouTube: Samantha GladishFacebook: Holistic Wellness FoodieThis show is produced by Soulfire ProductionsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Are you worried about how the coming holidays might impact your gut? Tune in as we dive into “Gut Health 101” and learn the 9 strategies that you can implement to support your gut health.You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode178. Topics Discussed in This Episode:Samantha’s gut storyWhy the gut is so importantThe everyday symptoms of digestive disordersWhat causes an unhealthy gutHow chronic stress causes an unhealthy gut floraWhat happens when you have a leaky gutThe gut and the hormone connectionWhat you can do to heal and support your gutKey Takeaways:Prescription drugs, medications, and the pill cause a leaky gut. They destroy the lining of the gut and also cause nutrient deficiencies.Our gut plays a role in our everyday mood.There are over 400 known, diverse bacterial species, and we are pretty much 90% bacteria.Gut bacteria produce essential nutrients and allow for greater nutrient bioavailability. They impact our health, vitality, immunity, and hormones. They protect us against food allergies and intolerances, and they’re really important for cognition, memory, and brain health. Gut bacteria also aid in weight loss ability.Our gut is our second brain, and it's so powerful. If our gut health and our digestive system are off, they start to throw everything off about our health.So many diseases and symptoms stem from gut issues, so it’s really important that we prioritize healing and supporting our gut health. Action Steps:Some simple things that you can do every day:Ditch the toxins.Hydrate.Eat fermented veggies.Include some bone broth in your diet.Manage your stress.Get good quality sleep.Detox.Include fermentable fibers and prebiotics in your diet.Supplements with probiotics, L-glutamine, digestive enzymes, etc.When it comes to parasite and candida cleansing, make sure to work with a practitioner, get the right testing, and have the right support. You need somebody who knows how to review your testing appropriately and provide the necessary protocols. Samantha said:“Your gut barrier is really important, and we want to do all that we can to manage that and keep those mucosal cells really, really tight.”“Leaky gut and bad gut flora are common because of our modern lifestyle, and if you have a leaky gut, you probably have bad gut flora and vice versa. And when your gut flora and your gut barrier are impaired, you will be inflamed.”Thanks for listening! Important Announcements:Check out our NEWEST program, The Adrenal Reset 28-Day Program.

The average woman is exposed to 126 different toxins before leaving their home in the morning, and half of those are carcinogenic.If something's off on your blood work, it means there's something wrong with your body.If you get bloated after eating, it's not the food's fault if it's healthy food.

The same meal eaten on a different day can have a different reaction in your body.Ayurveda is the oldest form of medicine in the world. It became the basis of all other forms of medicine. It literally translates to ‘the science of life’, so it looks at an individual and their constitution. Action Steps:Do a 7, 14, or 21-day functional medicine detox.

Are you one of the many people who are struggling with gut health issues? Founder of the Healthy Gut Company, Steven Wright shares his personal journey toward healing his gut, as well as some strategies that we can implement to support our digestive system.You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode173.Topics Discussed in This Episode:How digestive enzymes workThe importance of hydrochloric acidWhy so many people have a hydrochloric acid deficiencySome of the biggest factors that contribute to an unhealthy gutThe specific carbohydrate diet (SCD)Systemic enzyme therapyKey Takeaways:One of the biggest reasons why many of us experience so much bloating is because we have issues with low stomach acid.Food, water, and air are the biggest human consumption variables on a daily basis when it comes to our health. The quality of those ingredients matters to our overall outcome.If you're on an elimination diet for longer than three months, you begin to create your own dysbiosis in the microbiome.Taking out complex carbohydrates from your diet can create more food sensitivities, more food reactions, and less oral tolerance over time.The specific carbohydrate diet is a version of a FODMAP style diet where you're not eating anything processed out of a wrapper or package. It’s a whole food diet where you're cutting out as many complex carbohydrates as you can.Action Steps:Consider going on the specific carbohydrate diet. Eliminate the foods that are giving you problems and attempt to reintroduce them as quickly as possible.If you’re having an IBD flare, start with the intro diet along with the specific carbohydrate diet. This means eating all cooked meats, fruits, and vegetables and nothing raw. Support your body with all the mechanical needs it might be missing at the moment to break down foods.If you want to protect your gut, eat a lot of fermented foods, say a gratitude prayer before you eat, slow down, and try to eat a wide range of foods.Find a supplement that's going to cover your pancreatic enzymes, your brush border enzymes, and microbiome enzymes all in the same capsule. You also want to try to find something with minerals added to it.Take enzymes with your meals and before bed. Also, don’t be afraid to experiment with your enzyme dosages.If you're in a bad place, like if you’re someone who has refractory IBD or you're headed into the hospital, one of the coolest things you can do is give your gut a break by doing a 24- or 36- or 48-hour water fast. Steven said:“The hope... is that if you supplement with [HCl] long enough and you rebuild the natural processes, you reabsorb all your minerals, and you kind of train your stomach how to work, you will end up usually coming off of HCl.”“The systemic part of enzymes can not be understated, and I think it's one of the most underrated anti-aging tools... It's really cool from an anti-aging standpoint.”Thanks for listening! Important Announcements:Check out our brand spanking new website: holisticwellness.ca and our NEWEST program, The Adrenal Reset 28-Day Program.

What are your blind blots and belief systems that block you from achieving your goals? Delve into your subconscious mind with the CEO and founder of C.E.O. Blueprint Adele Tevlin and find out how you can reshape your thinking to start living the life you want.You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode172.Topics Discussed in This Episode:The conscious mind vs the subconscious mindWhere our limiting beliefs come fromUnraveling our belief systemsWhy we commit self-sabotage Key Takeaways:People have a kind of programming in their life based on their childhood. We have a set of beliefs that we inherited from our parents at a time in our life when we couldn’t choose them for ourselves, and that foundational period becomes the lens with which we see the world.The conscious mind is your intellect. It’s what gives you the ability to think and reason and the ability to accept and reject information. The subconscious mind, on the other hand, can’t reject but only accept everything as fact, so it is very susceptible to suggestion.Awareness is like learning to ride a bike, and your soul, your higher self, has that. Once you discover and uncover certain lies and truths and do the deeper healing, you'll never forget it. Action Steps:Unravel your belief systems by taking a look at your results. Your life is a result of what you believeKnow where you’re at in an honest, humble conversation. Some people need to learn to put the pedal to the metal while others need to take their foot off the pedal. Adele said:“If you never do the work to question what you believe, you end up believing something that someone else told you. So the question then becomes ‘Are you living your life or someone else's life?’”“Any successful person knows that the minute they start to succeed, they're met with temporary defeat. What are you going to do at that moment, sink or swim? But most people stop because they are obsessed with being comfortable.” Thanks for listening! Important Announcements:Check out our brand spanking new website: holisticwellness.ca and our NEWEST program, The Adrenal Reset 28-Day Program.

Welcome to the second part of our metabolic health episode! Here you’ll learn more strategies to support your insulin and blood sugar levels, as well as take a closer look at how glucose impacts your mood, sleep, cycle, and energy.You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode171. Topics Discussed in This Episode:More tips to support your insulin and blood sugar levels and manage your glucose.How exercise and movement impact your glucoseWhy sleep is critical to glucose regulation and overall metabolic healthStress management techniques Key Takeaways:A study has shown that when about one ounce of white vinegar was consumed with a carbohydrate-rich meal, post-meal glucose spikes and insulin levels were significantly lower.Apple cider vinegar is not only great for digestion but also for supporting post-meal glucose.According to one study, a single session of exercise at even a mild intensity has the ability to significantly increase insulin sensitivity the very next day.A large body of research also shows that moderate aerobic exercise 30 minutes, three times a week over an eight-week period improves insulin resistance and glycaemic control, including your fasting glucose levels.Similarly, high-intensity training improves both fasting glucose and insulin sensitivity in as short as two weeks. The more muscle mass that you can build, it's going to support how your body uptakes glucose.A short stint of sleep deprivation can send the body into a pathological metabolic state. The good news is that this is reversible. All you need to do is improve your sleep duration for two days.Stress raises our glucose levels. Studies have shown a significant correlation between perceived work-related stress and increased levels of circulating glucose.Cinnamon is a delicious and effective way to blunt some of those glucose surges. Action Steps:Implement these strategies:Use vinegar to support your glucose. Take a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar 10 to 15 minutes before you eat your meal, or mix it with a little bit of warm water and drink it first thing in the morning.Exercise and incorporate movement.Prioritize sleep. You need to sleep at least 7 to 9 hours per night to have healthy and proper glucose regulation.Control your stress.

What do you need to know about CBD? How is chiropractic care beneficial for pain management? With more than 20 years of experience at the pulse of the global health & wellness industry, chiropractic doctor Andrew Kerklaan shares his knowledge about these topics and more.You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode154. Topics Discussed in This Episode:What is CBDThe endocannabinoid systemThe role that CBD plays in improving hormonal healthDosing CBDChiropractic carePain managementHow stress can manifest as physical pain Key Takeaways:Movement is an integral part of us being healthy.Chiropractic care is the art and science of helping someone move better.You can think of chiropractic care as manual therapy. If you think of your body as levers and muscles all working together, if you have a mechanical issue, it makes sense to take a mechanical approach to help yourself improve.The endocannabinoid system is a signaling system where enzymes and hormone-type molecules are used to communicate between receptors among cells and help cells regulate their function.The theories around the endocannabinoid system are that it’s there to help regulate the overall function of the body. It regulates sleep, mood, digestion, immune response, nervous system function, etc.If you can improve the function of your endocannabinoid system, you have the potential to help many different functions within the human body. Action Steps:Do some research on the endocannabinoid system.Change your stress response through activity and exercise. Andrew said:“You have to respect health from the perspective of taking a wellness approach. Nutrition is a pillar; sleep is a pillar; movement is a pillar… taking a natural approach to helping people improve those aspects of their health and well-being is a crucial part of being healthy.” “We could help someone feel better and be looser and have more mobility, but ultimately, they really have to do something about their stress management and stress response.” Thanks for listening! Important Announcements: If you haven’t downloaded our FREE 5 Day Sugar Detox Challenge yet, download it now!

How can you ensure being well-nourished before, during, and after pregnancy? Doula and perinatal nutrition coach, Lindsay Taylor talks about what it means to eat well during all the stages of pregnancy, and how to use food to get empowered before pregnancy and thrive postpartum.You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode152. Topics Discussed in This Episode:How you should nourish your body before pregnancyHow nutrition changes during pregnancySupplementing with folate or folic acidGetting genetic testing before starting a familyThe impact of environmental toxins on pregnancyThe foods we're told not to eat when pregnantSupplementation before, during, and after pregnancyHow to support yourself postpartum through nutrition Key Takeaways:We often look at pregnancy as the time when the egg is fertilized and when we get a positive pregnancy test. But there's an even earlier stage of development that's critical to a woman getting pregnant and setting the stage for that pregnancy, and that's what's happening to the egg before it's fertilized.Before an egg is ovulated, there's a window of opportunity of three or four months where we can impact our likelihood of getting pregnant and how healthy that egg is.New research shows that there's an increased risk of pregnancy loss with increased levels of caffeine. But it's very likely that low levels of caffeine are still okay. The guideline says to keep it under 200 mg a day, so it really depends on what you're comfortable with.Your nutrient and energy needs in postpartum, especially if you're breastfeeding, are actually higher than during pregnancy.What postpartum nutrient depletion basically means is that when you go through a pregnancy, for nine months, your body is going to take all the nutrients you have and preferentially give them to the baby. So oftentimes, our needs aren't met.Action Steps:Eat as many meals as you can from home and from scratch, especially vegetables.Reduce, if not eliminate, your exposure to environmental toxins. Start in your kitchen with the materials that you use and your personal care products.Consider lowering your caffeine intake in the first trimester when the pregnancy is most vulnerable.Supplement with prenatal vitamins and choline.Batch-cook meals, and make food that you can grab and eat with one hand.Prep foods that would support your healing after pregnancy. Lindsay said:“The wild thing about the world of eating and nutrition in pregnancy is that it's full of misinformation. Most of the advice comes from a place of fear instead of facts, and we have old-school beliefs that are circulating nonstop."“We get very caught up in what we need in pregnancy [that] we sort of forget about how important postpartum can be." Thanks for listening! Important Announcements: If you haven’t downloaded our FREE 5 Day Sugar Detox Challenge yet, download it now!

Listen in as I share how I’ve taken things to a higher level when it comes to my health and well-being over the past year.You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode151. Topics Discussed in This Episode:Working inwardsFocusSleepMy favorite nighttime supplementsAcupunctureIncorporating herbsHikingHaving an evening downtimePlaytime with my petsHaving more sexMovementWater and hyper hydratingRed and infrared LED light therapyInfrared saunaDelegating more and hiring morePlant medicine Key Takeaways:Working inwards is all about getting quiet and sitting with some discomfort and feelings of fear, doubt, and overwhelm brought about by stories that you tell yourself, and then getting rid of the things that are not serving you.Sleep is the most important thing you can do to rejuvenate and detox your body and reset your hormonal health.There’s a big puzzle when it comes to health. There are many pieces that make it up, and sex is a part of it.If you’re an entrepreneur or you’re thinking of starting your own business, the faster you can delegate things out and bring somebody on to your team, the faster your business will grow.Action Steps:Learn to tune out the outside noise and focus. Tune in to your gut and your intuition and trust that.Set healthy sleep boundaries such as committing to going to bed at the same time every night.Consider getting an acupuncture treatment.Have more sex.Practice hyper-hydrating.Consider getting an infrared sauna.Delegate tasks more. Samantha said:“If you’re not sleeping, you’re not healing.”“Sex isn’t something that just begins in the bedroom. Sex is something that starts outside of the bedroom, in your everyday environment, with how you and your partner communicate with each other.”Thanks for listening! Important Announcements: If you haven’t downloaded our FREE 5 Day Sugar Detox Challenge yet, download it now!

What do you need in your healing arsenal to treat SIBO? Let's take a deeper dive into SIBO with food and health writer Phoebe Lapine.You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode150. Topics Discussed in This Episode:Intermittent fastingThe root causes of SIBO and its symptomsTips to improve stomach acidWhy women get more bloated than menWhy getting the SIBO test is important and how you should prepare for itWhat supplementation you need if you're prone to SIBOHow food and nutrition can impact SIBOThe connection between Hashimoto's and SIBO Key Takeaways:SIBO stands for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. It's not a disease in and of itself but a sign that something has gone wrong in your body. The majority of your gut bacteria is in your large intestine. Your small intestine is where you absorb your nutrients, so it isn't designed to withstand large numbers of gut bacteria. When a large number of bacteria is present there, they compete for your nutrients.Research shows that the vast majority of all IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) cases are caused by SIBO.Your liver is an integral part of your digestive system. When you're told "You have to heal your gut," this includes your liver too.Diet is not a treatment for SIBO. Rather, it's a supplemental strategy that can help you reduce the symptoms.Diets that are primarily for SIBO/IBS are incredibly restrictive. It would be ideal to find some sort of a happy medium. If you reduce your diet too much during treatment, you may risk that some of the bacteria just go into hibernation. On the other hand, you don't want to be eating things that are going to make you miserable. Action Steps:Improve your stomach acid by taking fresh lemon juice. Or you can dilute a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with water and drink it 15 to 30 minutes before a meal.Practice mindful eating.If you're experiencing any symptoms of SIBO, get the SIBO test.Supplement with digestive enzymes and vitamin D.Eat like you're a pregnant person if you know that you're prone to food poisoning.Space out your meals and don't snack as much. Phoebe said:“Everyone's SIBO is very different from one another, partially because everyone's microbiome is more unique than a fingerprint. That is true no matter where the bacteria are taking up residence. And it's one reason why SIBO can be complicated to treat.""People often forget that treatment is very different from healing. And oftentimes, treatment in and of itself can cause more damage and require more healing."Thanks for listening! Important Announcements: If you haven’t downloaded our FREE 5 Day Sugar Detox Challenge yet, download it now!

How can we take better care of our thyroid health? Let's take a look at it from the perspective of environmental toxins.You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode149. Topics Discussed in this Episode:What the thyroid is and how it worksThyroid disorders and diseasesDiagnostic testing for thyroid healthEnvironmental toxins and how we can avoid themDetoxification Key Takeaways:The thyroid is governing the overall metabolism in your body and plays a role in brain development, breathing, heart and nervous system functions, body temperature, muscle strength, skin dryness, menstrual cycle health, and cholesterol levels.Thyroid function can be affected by a variety of factors such as genetics, nutrient deficiencies, autoimmune conditions, pregnancy, underlying infections, liver disease, medications, and oral contraceptives.Thyroid disorders are more common in women than men.Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid is underactive and often develops later in life. This leads to a general loss of energy, potential weight gain, difficulties in concentration, constipation, sensitivity to cold, changes in your skin, issues with your voice, dry and brittle hair, decreased libido, and in some cases, depression.Hashimoto's disease is an autoimmune condition where the body's immune system is attacking the thyroid gland.Hyperthyroidism occurs when the thyroid overactive and speeds up the energy metabolism of the body. This leads to hot flashes, sweating, trembling, weight loss, diarrhea, hair loss, nervousness, hyperactivity, emotional instability, irritability, insomnia, restlessness, and in some cases, bulging of the eyes.Graves' disease is an autoimmune condition causing a form of hyperthyroidism. Thyroid auto-antibodies develop when a person's immune system mistakenly targets and attacks the thyroid gland. This can lead to chronic inflammation, tissue damage, and autoimmune disorders.The toxins that affect the thyroid include the following:Phthalates - typically found in plastics and some personal care itemsPerchlorate - found in food and waterPolybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) - found in breastmilk, electronics, cars, and buildingsPerfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) - found in non-stick pans, water-resistant coatings, stain-resistant carpets, and microwave popcorn bagsOrganophosphate pesticides - found in agricultural spaces that end up affecting the produce that we eat Action Steps:Get diagnostic testing for your thyroid health.Use glass instead of plastic containers for packing your meals.Read the labels of personal care products and look into product ratings.Avoid using non-stick pans and be conscious about wearing water-resistant clothes and accessories.Buy fruits and vegetables that are treated with the least amount of pesticides.Detoxify. Samantha said:“Your thyroid is governing the metabolism overall in your body. Weight is a part of that, but it's not the only piece... Metabolism means more than just weight gain and weight loss.""Sometimes your antibodies are just going to go up and down for no real apparent reason. You can't just pinpoint one thing that's going to trigger [it]." Thanks for listening!Important Announcements: If you haven’t downloaded our FREE 5 Day Sugar Detox Challenge yet, download it now!

How are you managing your stress? Dr. Jannine Krause talks about the benefits of acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine in supporting stress management and overall health.You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode148. Topics Discussed in this Episode:Acupuncture and its benefitsThe effects of stress on hormonesDietary principles in the Chinese medicine cultureSimple strategies to help lower stressWhy you shouldn't do HIIT workouts every dayCupping and when you should get itSimple everyday things that we can do to boost circulationKey Takeaways:Stress puts us in a "stuck" mode, which means we're not in a state of flow.With acupuncture, what we're doing is we're trying to get blood flow going.We can use acupuncture near the uterus, near the ovaries, to help the body regulate. We even have points in our ears that can help the hormones regulate and try to get that blood flow going.Most of the time when we're getting stressed out, there's a need that we have that's not getting met.Cupping is the use of suction to bring blood flow to a broad superficial area of skin tissue and muscle.Action Steps:Get acupuncture treatment.Mid-cycle to the start of your period, make sure you stay warm and keep things warmer for the body with the food that you eat.Take the time to slow down. Work on your schedule and look at where you can put in a break and do something fun.Make sure your body knows when your workout is over through breathwork.Think of your evenings as a time to reconnect with yourself. Have fun!Consider getting cupping treatment if you have tight muscles.Get circulation moving through play and fluid movement. Jannine said:“Spend some time chilling. I think a lot of us, unfortunately, have lost that ability to stop moving and just breathe for a minute.""I call it the root of all evil if we don’t have blood flow moving.” Thanks for listening!Important Announcements: Join our 4-Week Spring Detox Program here!

How does energy impact our hormones, and how can we manage it? Certified nutritional practitioner and holistic lifestyle coach Bryan Hardy shares some tips and strategies to reverse the cycle of burnout and fatigue in our lives.You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode147. Topics Discussed in this Episode:Bryan’s health journeyThe tricks that people think are helping them get their energy backWhat you can do to better support your energyThe connection between energy and hormonesThe long-term effects of not addressing burnout and fatigueEnergy-cultivating practicesThe difference between men and women when it comes to addressing the issue of energy Key Takeaways:When it comes to supporting your energy, creating a little space for yourself and giving yourself a break can make massive changes over time.If you have reduced melatonin, your sleep won’t be as restorative, and your body isn’t going to do as much detoxifying and regenerating work. As a result, when you get up in the morning, you’re very unlikely to have those little spikes of serotonin and cortisol that tell your body to get up and go.Hormones and neurotransmitters work in balance, and they have rhythms such as the circadian rhythm.When you’re lacking in energy, your immune system gets downregulated, and so you become more prone to getting sick. We all have something that we’re here to do, offer, share, cultivate, or create. And when we don’t have the energy to do that, it’s going to be a massive struggle to try and birth whatever it might be. Action Steps:At the end of the day, do something that’s not stimulating and allow your mind to truly relax. Nothing does that better than being in nature. So leave your phone for a while and go for a walk.Supplement with ashwagandha (2 to 5 grams before going to bed).Take medicinal mushrooms.Supplement with a vitamin B complex.Practice grounding.Practice qigong.Do the Legs Up the Wall Yoga pose. Bryan said:“There are tools, and there are things outside of the mainstream paradigm that can definitely support us. And often, it’s the only way that we actually get to the root of what’s really going on.”“Having this fatigue and burnout pattern going on really holds us back from doing what we’re here to do and from being who we’re here to be.”Thanks for listening! Important Announcements: If you haven’t downloaded our FREE 5 Day Sugar Detox Challenge yet, download it now!

What does it mean to live authentically? Transformational coach Dr. Laura Foster talks about the most important relationship in your life -- the one that you have with yourself -- and what you can do to cultivate self-mastery that will lead to powerful change.You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode146. Topics Discussed in this Episode:Becoming a transformational coachThe brain connection vs the soul connectionWhat it means to live authenticallySelf-mastery and how to cultivate itSelf-compassion and why it’s essential to self-masteryKey Takeaways:The soul connection is linked to your intuition. It’s that deep inner knowing within you.When you are living true to your values, it feels effortless. When you have to show up in your life in a way that isn’t true to who you are, it takes energy.We tell ourselves stories all the time. We need to be aware that all these stories come from past beliefs and other people. Obligations are interesting because a lot of them are perceived. They’re not necessarily real. It’s that we’ve created a rule for ourselves that we have to show up a certain way in our life.What keeps you up at night is the resistance to the choices that you want to be making. It’s not the decisions you’re making but the ones that you’re not making.Living authentically is honoring and embracing who you are and living your values. It’s being able to change your mind as you understand yourself better. It’s knowing what your truth is and owning it. It’s knowing who you’re living your life for.Self-mastery is not a destination. It’s being able to recognize, understand, and accept your whole self and mastering this connection with who you are at the core of your being.Self-compassion is essential to self-mastery.Action Steps:Ask yourself great questions (i.e. Who are you living for? If you can do anything, what would you do?)Double down on self-care and self-love, and trust that you are getting to the place where you want to go.Understand what you stand for so that you can stand for something.Create healthy boundaries in your relationships.Commit to your truth and learn to speak it to the world.Define what authentic living means to you.Do something outside of your thinking head, i.e. journaling, meditating, hiking, etc., to get your intuition flowing.Let go of the things that are no longer serving you. Laura said:“You wear a mask when you show up in your life outside of who you truly are. And how far out of alignment that is, is the degree to which you are burning yourself out.”“When you ask questions, you open the portal to your own answers. It’s that reconnecting and understanding that you do have so much more information and connection to your truth inside of you.”Thanks for listening!Important Announcements: If you haven’t downloaded our FREE 5 Day Sugar Detox Challenge yet, download it now!

Are you experiencing symptoms of low estrogen? What causes it, and how does it affect your body? And more importantly, what can you do about it?You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode145. Topics Discussed in this Episode:Estrogen vs progesteroneThe different roles that estrogen plays in the bodyHow low estrogen affects:Weight and appetiteMoodBone densityHot flashes, night sweats, and insomniaFertilityGluten intoleranceWhy our estrogen levels dropThe benefits of getting the DUTCH testWhat we can do to support our estrogen levels Key Takeaways:As we start to age, we have a lot of hormonal declines that start anywhere between the ages of 35 to 50 and our estrogen will dip. The symptoms associated with low estrogen can also be associated with so many other things. The more knowledge you have, the better you can do for your health and your hormones.Progesterone doesn’t make you fat. All hormones play a role in weight gain and weight loss.Estrogen is that hormone that gives you that femininity. It has over 300 different functions in the body and is the ultimate multitasker.Estrogen helps to build and maintain the structure and function of the vaginal, urethral, and vulvar tissues.Estradiol is the estrogen in the highest concentration during a woman’s reproductive years. From puberty until perimenopause, 80% of the estrogen in the body is estradiol, 10% is estriol (the main estrogen of pregnancy), and the other is 10% estrone (the main estrogen of menopause).Low estrogen can affect so many areas that are near and dear to a woman’s heart like sleep, sex, fertility, appetite, and weight.The lower your estrogen is, the hungrier you might become.  Action Steps:Get hormone testing.Support your bone density by lifting weights and eating calcium-rich foods.Supplement with vitamin E to reduce hot flashes.Try acupuncture.Consider going on a gluten-free diet.Be conscious of your caffeine intake.Cut back on alcohol, or eliminate it altogether.Add flax seeds to your diet.Have sex and orgasm more.Supplement with magnesium.Don’t exercise too much.Take herbs such as maca, red ginseng, hops, and valerian. Samantha said:“Low estrogen can affect so many areas that are near and dear to a woman’s heart like sleep, sex, fertility, appetite, and weight.”“Test so that you don’t guess, and you can really strategize what you’re going to do in terms of nutrition, supplementation, and lifestyle.” Thanks for listening! Important Announcements: If you haven’t downloaded our FREE 5 Day Sugar Detox Challenge yet, download it now!

How can we protect ourselves from EMFs? Functional diagnostic nutritionist Wendy Myers talks about the Harmoni Pendant and how it works as a shield to protect us from EMFs and the negative effects of stress.You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode144. Topics Discussed in this Episode:Bioenergetics, energy medicine, and healing with frequenciesHow we get exposed to heavy metalsSymptoms of heavy metal exposureSimple ways we can optimize and support daily detoxificationThe Harmoni Pendant -- how it works and how it’s different from other EMF protection devicesKey Takeaways:We get exposed to heavy metals in chemicals in the air, food, and water. Even if you’re drinking perfectly filtered water, you can get exposed to it in the shower. Even if you’re eating an organic diet, pesticide-free food doesn’t mean it’s heavy metal-free.Symptoms of heavy metal exposure include brain fog, fatigue, trouble with sleep, and weight gain.A lot of metals poison our mitochondria, our thyroid, and our adrenals.Your liver is the frontline of digestion, immunity, and detoxification. It has to function properly to metabolize excess hormones.How the Harmoni Pendant works is it has four holes that communicate information to your body to clear the energy field. Once the energy field is cleared, your body works more efficiently.Everything on the planet has an energy field with a frequency that can be measured. These energy fields are energy waves. Action Steps:Strategies that you can implement to support daily detoxification:Take care of your liver by eating a healthy diet. Don’t bombard it with sugar and industrial seed oils that are very inflammatory. Drink lemon water to start your day and eat bitter foods like beets and artichokes.Do a coffee enema.Detoxify with infrared saunas and ionic foot baths.Eat a lot of fiber.Mitigate the effects of EMFs by wearing a Harmoni Pendant. Wendy said:“[Heavy metal exposure] is really impossible to avoid no matter what measures you take. No matter how perfect your house is, you’re still going to be exposed to heavy metals and chemicals.”“Even if you’re wearing a [Harmoni Pendant], it does help mitigate the effects of EMF, but it’s not the only thing you can do. You need to mitigate EMF in your environment as well.” Thanks for listening! Important Announcements: If you haven’t downloaded our FREE 5 Day Sugar Detox Challenge yet, download it now!

What are some of the basic foundational things to optimize your hormones? Here are 6 simple must-haves that you can implement in your health and hormone journey.You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode143. Topics Discussed in this Episode:The 6 healthy hormone must havesEating an anti-inflammatory dietRemoving refined carbohydratesFocusing and optimizing gut healthTesting your vitamin D and making sure you’re getting optimal levelsOptimizing your sleepEating healthy fats and not fearing fatsKey Takeaways:An anti-inflammatory diet consists of a variety of good quality sources of protein, healthy fats, fiber, gluten-free grains, and high-antioxidant fruits and berries.Having a diet that is high in refined carbohydrates is going to impact your insulin levels. Over time, it can promote insulin resistance, which can then lead to issues with food cravings and low energy, maintaining healthy body composition, and type 2 diabetes.High fiber vegetables are rich in indole-3-carbinol which is a compound that helps to remove foreign estrogens from the body.Having proper gut flora and enough healthy bacteria and gut flora is important for daily bowel movements which is one of the ways we detoxify and eliminate toxins from our body.If you have issues going on with your cortisol and adrenals, the better you can address that, the better you will sleep. Action Steps:Remove refined carbohydrates from your diet by replacing them with high fiber veggies and grains.Seek professional help if you are not pooping regularly. (We should be pooping 2-3 times a day.)Test your vitamin D levels to determine how much of it you need to supplement.Have a healthy sleep routine and go to bed no later than 11 p.m.Get support when you’re having trouble with sleep.Supplement and eat the right kind of fats. And be conscious about avoiding the inflammatory oils. Samantha said:“If you’re struggling with sleep, it’s so important to figure out why… because without sleep, your body can’t heal; you’re going to have a ton of issues with hormones and balancing hormones.” “Especially as we age and hormone levels change, and different things come up in our life and stressors, there’s always going to be things that impact our health and our hormones.

Did you know that the scars on your body can impact your health? Find out more as holistic practitioner Scott Sommers shares about this and the healing practices in Chinese medicine.You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode142. Topics Discussed in this Episode:How Asian medicine differs from Western medicineHow Asian and Western medicines complement each otherHow scars affect the body and the type of treatment necessary to correct themThe body’s electrical systemTreating scars with light laser oilSigns of nutritional deficienciesThe best form of testing with parasites and the best action to resolve themAcupuncture Key Takeaways:Eastern medicine focuses on the electrical system and the whole body. Western medicine, on the other hand, focuses on symptomatic relief.Eastern medicine deals with the core problems using the tools of food as medicine, herbal medicine, and lifestyle changes.When you get a scar, there’s a disconnect on your skin. And if there’s a trauma to the body, then there’s internal scarring. If we don’t restore the electrical flow through laser treatment and through oil applied to the scar itself, the brain will remain disconnected from that part of the body.Anything that shows up in your skin, your hair, your nails, and your tongue can be a sign of nutritional deficiencies.Basically, 99% of our problems are nutritional-based.80% of the population has parasites. The key symptoms are any kind of skin problems and digestive problems such as bloating, gas, and IBS.Acupuncture is a way to activate your electrical system.  Action Steps:Check your scars and put some wheat germ oil on them. You can also have them checked by a kinesiologist.Eat enough good fats. They are the basis of good hormones.Exercise daily.Consider getting an acupuncture treatment.Get on a good nutritional program.Implement these everyday strategies to avoid getting a parasitic infection:Have your pets tested and make sure you give them filtered water.Rinse and soak your vegetables in vinegar for 5 to 10 minutes.Consume lots of garlic. Scott said:“I’ve been striving ever since, looking for answers. And I always say it’s about ancient medicine -- studying the ancient techniques -- and modern technology to get the best answers.”“Most people are like walking blocks of Swiss cheese. They have all these holes for their missing deficiencies. If you don’t fill in the holes, you’ll just never be whole.” Thanks for listening! Important Announcements: If you haven’t downloaded our FREE 5 Day Sugar Detox Challenge yet, download it now!

Do you get that tired but wired feeling? The Morning Adrenal Cocktail can help. Find out how to make it and optimize your adrenals.You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode141. Topics Discussed in this Episode:The 3 basic components of the Morning Adrenal Cocktail and how they benefit the adrenalsThe two ways you can make the adrenal cocktail Key Takeaways:You can start your day with the Morning Adrenal Cocktail. But you might need it two or three times a day depending on what’s going on with your adrenals, how you’re feeling, and the symptoms you might be having.Around 3 p.m. is often when a lot of people get that cortisol dip. When your cortisol drops at that time of day, that’s when you start to feel very tired and sluggish. It’s an opportune time to take your adrenal supplementation and your adrenal cocktail.The 3 basic components of the Morning Adrenal Cocktail are vitamin C, salt, and potassium.It’s really important that you get enough sodium in your diet. The more stressed we are, the more sodium we end up losing from our cells. And that causes our cells to dump out potassium as well.That delicate balance of sodium and potassium affects the symptoms that we experience with adrenal fatigue. Action Steps: Make the Morning Adrenal Cocktail: The key when making this drink is to make sure you have all three components- vitamin C + salt + potassium. If your trace minerals does not contain potassium, make sure to add in coconut water or find an electrolyte powder or trace mineral liquid that contains potassium. OPTION #1250-500ml of water1 packet of ENER-C sugar free Orange 1/2 tsp trace minerals1/3 cup coconut water (optional - use if your trace minerals does not contain potassium) OPTION #21/4-1/3 cup of fresh-pressed orange juice1/2 tsp sea salt or trace minerals1/3 cup coconut water Samantha said:“Less sodium in the system means that there’s more stress in the system ultimately.”“[The Morning Adrenal Cocktail] really does work wonders. Make sure to get in that sodium-potassium balance. It is so key.” Thanks for listening!Important Announcements: If you haven’t downloaded our FREE 5 Day Sugar Detox Challenge yet, download it now!

Do you have a health puzzle that you’re trying to solve? Find out why running some functional lab testings is critical to getting to the root of your health issues.You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode140 Topics Discussed in this Episode:Functional lab tests and why they’re importantThyroid function tests and what you should be looking forThe gut, liver, and thyroid connectionSome healing strategies for optimizing your gut healthUsing castor oil packsDealing with mold toxicity and detoxing the bodyHealthy hormone hacks Key Takeaways:Functional lab tests help us to take a deeper dive look at the physiological aspects of the body. They help us connect the dots and see all the pieces of the puzzle to understand the bigger picture of what’s going on with a person’s health.There’s a huge portion of your thyroid hormone that’s converted in the liver and the intestinal tissue. These tissues need to be healthy in order to convert that thyroid hormone optimally. At the same time, certain nutrients are required for this to happen.If you have a leaky gut, poor digestion, or an inflamed intestinal tract, you’re not going to be absorbing nutrients as well as you could to support thyroid function and hormone conversion.One of the things that can trigger an autoimmune process or hypothyroid type of issues is elevated estrogen levels. We want to make sure the liver can move those toxins out of the body.Our body has an internal clock based on the sun and the moon cycles. That’s what we refer to as our circadian rhythm which is related to our cortisol rhythm. Action Steps:Implement these strategies to optimize your gut:Get food sensitivity tests.Get a stool sample test.Take foods and supplements that help restore the integrity of the intestinal lining.If you’re dealing with mold infestation, make sure the mold is removed properly and stop the exposure.Incorporate these healthy hormone hacks into your day:Have a cup of green tea.Fill up with fat. Make sure you get enough good quality sleep. Jenn said:“Fat has gotten such a bad rep for so long, and we’re finally starting to turn the corner on that. That fat is actually healthy for us, and we actually need fats in order to make hormones.”“Nature is so critical to our overall well-being… Even being out in the cold is beneficial for us.”Thanks for listening! Important Announcements: If you haven’t downloaded our FREE 5 Day Sugar Detox Challenge yet, download it now!

How do you overcome doubts and doubters? Founder and CEO of Hint Water, Kara Goldin shares her powerful story about transforming her health and building a business.You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode139Topics Discussed in this Episode:Healthy perception vs healthy realityThe major misconception about entrepreneursThe journey of starting a company Turning a journal into a bookWhat it means to be undaunted Key Takeaways:The happiest people are those who are constantly learning.The three things that separate great entrepreneurs are their curiosity, their willingness to try, and knowing that it’s possible to fail.Being undaunted means to keep trying even if there’s a possibility that you’re going to fail. It’s knowing that failure is all part of the journey and taking risks along the way.Most of the time entrepreneurs are living undaunted, but they don’t have everything figured out. Action Steps:Be a lifelong learner.When running a business, figure out your options.Look back in life and business and celebrate the wins. Kara said:“You have to be learning constantly… And if you get to a point where you’re just directing and you’re not learning, then I think that that’s where unhappiness and lots of other key issues start to develop that people just assume are for other reasons.”“I had seen such a shift in my own health that I felt like -- and still feel today -- that if we could get people to enjoy water, whether that clean tap water or a product like Hint, that we would change health in the world.” Thanks for listening! Important Announcements: If you haven’t downloaded our FREE 5 Day Sugar Detox Challenge yet, download it now!

How can you incorporate a clean keto diet approach to supporting and balancing your hormones as well as losing weight? Nutritionist and mompreneur Lesya Holzapfel shares her tips and strategies, especially for busy moms. You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode138.  Topics Discussed in this Episode:Overcoming sugar addiction and going sugar-freeStrategies for hormone regulationAddressing adrenal burnoutThe keto diet and doing it the right wayKeto carb cyclingThe scale weightMindset work Key Takeaways:The premise of the keto diet is to help people understand the effect of eating too many carbs, especially highly processed, refined carbs, and too much sugar. It helps regulate your hormones and helps your body transition to only burning glucose for fuel to fat for fuel, and allowing you the flexibility to do both later on.Two important things to take into account when it comes to weight loss are sleep and stress.It’s never a good idea to measure your weight when you’re on your period.The scale doesn’t always give us the full picture when it comes to our weight loss journey. It doesn’t take into account water and sodium retention and hormonal fluctuations. Action Steps:Have a morning routine that sets up your whole day for success.Practice meditation.Keep a journal.Don’t take scale weight at face value.Don’t listen to your negative thoughts.Know your WHY.Surround yourself with people that can support you and get plugged into a community Lesya said:“My mindset was ‘What’s the lowest hanging fruit?’...So I looked at my food, and I looked at ‘What is it that I’m eating now that’s disrupting my gut?” “I realized that the only way to beat sugar addiction is to quit sugar… You have to give it up.” Thanks for listening! Important Announcements:If you haven’t downloaded our FREE 5 Day Sugar Detox Challenge yet, download it now!

In this fully packed episode, we chat with Dr. Nichole Morris about a variety of topics around women’s health, including some of the best lifestyle hacks and strategies that we can implement in our day-to-day life for overall vitality.You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode137.Topics Discussed in this Episode:Root cause medicineThe connection between anxiety and gut healthThe causes of anxietyHomeopathy and biotherapeutic drainageThe role the liver plays in our healingLifestyle hacks for overall vitalityMedical freedom and transparency in healthcareThe PAR-QWhy 5G could be harmful to our healthKey Takeaways:Human beings are complex. We’re a physical body, but we’re also a mental, emotional and spiritual body. The three all work together, and they’re so intertwined.Gut health and emotional trauma are the biggest places where anxiety comes into play.Homeopathy is the concept of “like cures like”.Biotherapeutic drainage is a combination of low-dose multiple remedies that work down to the cellular level to open up the cells and drain them of the toxic burden that they’re holding on to.Medical freedom is having the ability to choose what goes in and on your body, what medications you choose and don’t choose, and what surgery you want to have or not have.5G means fifth generation cellular communication data. It can also mean the frequency or gigahertz.5G from your phone is a much higher frequency than what we see in 4G and WiFi in a smaller wave. Because the waves are small, they don’t penetrate large things. For this reason, we need small cell towers up to every 500 feet or closer. The wavelength can penetrate millimeters into the skin surface.Action Steps:Lifestyle hacks:Use castor oil packs to support your liver.Do skin brushing.Practice four square breathing.Take cold showers.Turn your phone off at night or at least put it on airplane mode.Spend time in nature.Give yourself a “Mental Health Day” once in a while.Eat “real” food.Drink a lot of water.Take supplements.Move your body as much as you can.Build boundaries with toxic people. Nichole said:“Most of our physical ailments or disease or disturbance in our body comes from an emotional sphere.” “My goal is to make sure people have the information that they need to make very informed healthcare decisions. And in a time like 2020 and 2021, I think we are seeing an emergence of the importance of you -- the individual, the listener -- being your own best doctor.” Thanks for listening! Important Announcements:If you haven’t downloaded our FREE 5 Day Sugar Detox Challenge yet, download it now!

Here I talk about what to do for adrenal fatigue and inflammation as well as share some tips to overcome doubts and fears while growing your business.You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode135. Topics Discussed in this Episode:Some important tests to ask for when going to your doctorAdrenal fatigue and its symptomsWhat you can do to heal your adrenalsManaging inflammation and getting your health back on trackDealing with doubts and fears when it comes to your businessKey Takeaways:The more we can clear out from our body, the more we can show up in a true, authentic, powerful way; the more we can connect to our intuition and our gut, and start acknowledging the things that feel right and don’t feel right. From there, we can start to make clear decisions and ask the right questions.Some key tests to ask for when you see your doctor:A ferritin testA vitamin D testThe hs-CRP testA full metabolic panelA full thyroid panelThe DUTCH testRoughly 70% to 80% of doctor visits are stress-related conditions.The number one essential to healing your adrenals is sleep. And it’s the number one thing for overall hormonal health.The big three triggers for inflammation are gluten, dairy, and sugar.When doing an elimination diet, don’t just get hung up on the stuff that you can’t have.

Are you one of those people who hate taking cold showers and just hate being in the cold in general? Listen in as I share the benefits of cold therapy. They just might change your mind.You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode134. Topics Discussed in this Episode:The benefits of cold therapyHow cold therapy impacts the two types of fat in our bodySome ways you can incorporate cold therapy Key Takeaways:The white adipose tissue is the body fat that you want to burn, while the brown adipose tissue is what helps you burn calories and burn the white adipose tissue.Cold therapy stimulates the brown adipose tissue to burn excess fat and glucose for energy.Cold therapy reduces inflammation, swelling, and sore muscles. It’s also linked to improved quality of sleep, more focus, and improved immune response. Action Steps:Take on the challenge to incorporate cold therapy in your day! Here are some ways you can do it:Use ice packs on the back/neck for 30-60 minutes while relaxing at night when insulin levels are higher and more sensitive.  Soak your feet in cold water at night or right away in AM when you first wake up. This will stimulate heat throughout the day.Suck on ice cubes throughout the day. You can add flavored stevia to the ice cubes to help sweeten them without adding sugar. Have a snow cone for dessert with flavored stevia. See below for the recipe.Take a cold shower upon arising. As a note - 10 seconds isn't going to cut it, but it's a start. Work your way up to 3-5 minutes for the best results.Lower the temperature in your house by 5 degrees. We always sleep in a cold room, keeping our temperature at around 20 Degrees, or 68F. Try the "healthified” snowcone:Ingredients: 4 cups ice2-3 strawberry tea bags or other fruity tea 1 cup water1 tsp fruit flavored stevia (fruit punch or berry) Directions:Place tea bags in very hot water and let steep for 3-5 minutes. Sweeten with stevia drops to desired sweetness and let cool in the fridge. Once cooled, add to Vitamix (you will need a powerful blender for this) with ice and blend until crushed. Serve and enjoy! Samantha said:“Not only is cold therapy amazing for speeding up our metabolism; there are so many other benefits as well.”“The reason I like to use cold therapy is, from an autoimmune perspective, to really help manage and support my symptoms.” Thanks for listening! Important Announcements: Don’t forget to connect with me over on Instagram, @holisticwellnessfoodie.

Are you struggling with sugar addiction and can’t seem to get rid of sugar cravings? Sugar Freedom coach Danielle Daem talks about how you can reshape your relationship with sugar and reclaim control over your health and energy once and for all.You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode132Be sure to subscribe to this podcast on iTunes and leave us a rating and a review!Topics Discussed in this Episode:The root causes of sugar cravings and addictive behaviorsEmotional eating and the connection between our emotions and sugarSugar Freedom and Danielle’s approach to sugar addictionWhat it means to have sugar freedomThe best place to start when trying to go sugar-freeTips for choosing wine and some healthy holiday tips Key Takeaways:In our culture, we haven’t been taught how to sit with our uncomfortable emotions. And right from childhood, sugar is connected to every single emotion.It’s not until we can begin to honor the heavy emotions like grief, sadness, depression, anxiety, stress, etc. and know that we’re okay to feel them that we can start to break that pattern of escaping.Emotions are just energy in motion. There are tools that we can use to process them.Neurodynamic Breathwork is a deep inner practice of subconscious meditation and breathwork.One of the pillars of understanding when you’re successful in this journey of dealing with negative emotions is how quickly you can bounce back and how graceful and loving you are with yourself as you let those emotions flow. Action Steps:Build a healthy relationship with yourself.Work through your emotions. Learn to sit with them, and learn to process them.Check with yourself before you eat anything. Ask: How am I feeling at this moment? And don’t judge or push against it, but honor the feeling. This brings a deep awareness of yourself.Keep a journal.Meditate.Commit to sitting with your emotions.Reconnect with yourself and with your body.Try doing Neurodynamic Breathwork.Get started with going sugar-freeLearn to read labels for sugar content.Cook your meals at home instead of dining out or ordering from a fast food restaurant. Danielle said:“When we can really, truly do the inner work, tune in, heal, shift our belief patterns that are holding us back, and really rewire all those subconscious patterns, I believe that we can have an empowered, healthy relationship with sugar.”“We can empower ourselves to make choices that feel right when we have our foundational pieces solid. And for each person, that’s a different journey; it takes a different amount of time; it’s different inner work. But it’s so incredibly rewarding, and it’s so freeing.”Thanks for listening!Important Announcements: Don’t forget to connect with me over on Instagram, @holisticwellnessfoodie.

What does it take to be in control of your life? Where can you find the confidence that you need? Nutritionist and educator Jane Durst-Pulkys shares her journey of battling self-doubt, overcoming her lack of self-esteem, and building her confidence.You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode131. Topics Discussed in this Episode:Jane’s journey toward boosting her confidenceWorking with empowering afformationsThe 7 ChakrasThe technique to uncover where energy is blockedThe 7 deadly wordsRewiring the brainThe common excuses that people come up withWhere nutrition comes into play with rewiring the brain and boosting your confidence Key Takeaways:Your issues are in your tissues.Homeopathy allows you to figure out where the energy is blocked in your body and how to get rid of it.Life is supposed to be a joyful experience, but when there are these energy blocks in the body, people aren’t able to fully live the life that they’re looking for.When you feel confident, every cell in your body radiates that confidence.Words are either disabling or enabling. How you speak to yourself is very important. How you talk to other people impacts every cell in your body.The 7 deadly words are the following: can’t, should, if, or, need, must, and try.Studies have shown that if you were to spend 10 to 20 minutes in a meditation or a contemplation type of exercise, it allows your body to calm down, and it allows for more creativity to flow through.For you to feel good inside, you have to have amazing energy.There are 5 new food groups available today: frozen, fried, fast, junk, and processed. There’s also a lot of CRAP - carbonated, refined, addictive, and processed foods. But if you want to feel amazing, you need to eat whole, live foods. Action Steps:Figure out what’s holding you back and utilize your full potential.Be kind to yourself.Love yourself.Think about what you say and how you say it.Take some time for yourself and do some meditation.Subscribe to the 80-20 rule when it comes to nutrition. It’s what you eat 80% of the time that matters the most. Jane said:“I think it’s really criminal to be a man or a woman in this world and to not have that joy and that feeling of [having] your own life in your hands.”“We need to help each other. We need to compliment each other. And if we all were kinder to ourselves, then we could all be more empowered to feel better about ourselves.” Thanks for listening! Important Announcements: Don’t forget to connect with me over on Instagram, @holisticwellnessfoodie.

What is the connection between gut health and skin health? Clinical nutritionist Jennifer Fugo talks about beating chronic skin problems and unending gut challenges by discovering missing pieces and creating doable integrative plans.You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode129. Topics Discussed in this Episode:Skin challenges and how they are connected to the gutBig triggers for chronic skin rashes and where hormones fall into the mixThe importance of tracking the cycle of rash flaresThe estrogen-histamine connectionHow you can get H. pylori and the steps to healing an H. pylori infectionThe thyroid connection to skin rashesThe problem with topical steroids What products to use for your skin problems and what to avoidDifferent gut infections that might be impacting your skinDietary recommendations for eczema Key Takeaways:The 16 root causes of chronic skin rashes are the following:Microbiome dysbiosis Gut dysfunctionDiet and food reactionsNutritional deficienciesLiver detoxification challengesTraumaUnmanaged stressGenetic implicationsThyroid dysfunctionHormone imbalances.AutoimmunityDrug reactionsMitochondrial dysfunctionHeavy metalsEnvironmental toxinsEnvironmental allergiesWhen we say microbiome dysbiosis, we’re not just talking about what goes on inside the gut but also what happens on the skin. We also have microbiomes in our mouth and in other areas of the body. An imbalance in one spot could be indicative of an imbalance someplace else. A lot of times, gut dysbiosis can drive skin dysbiosis.Gut dysfunction includes any irregularities in the body’s ability to digest and absorb food and eliminate waste properly.High levels of estrogen can cause a lot of histamine problems.When you apply topical steroids, it blunts your immune response, which can lead to more skin infections.Exposure to topical steroids can hijack your adrenal function and throw you in to what’s known as topical steroid withdrawal. Action Steps:Support your liver detoxification.Optimize your gut function.Make sure that you are pooping properly.Get checked for H. pylori.Consider removing fermented foods from your diet.Try supplementing with DAO (diamine oxidase).Go for products with very simple natural ingredients. Jennifer said:“I’m not saying you can’t DIY, but you also have to be realistic. If you’re struggling with a lot of different issues and your quality of life is really compromised at this point and it’s complex, that’s where you might want to ask for some help.”“If you have a lot of pollen allergies, I’d really caution you against getting formulas that have a lot of essential oils in them.”Thanks for listening! Important Announcements:Join our Healthy Hormones Monthly Recipe Club for $9 a month!

What exactly is the fertility awareness method? Do you still find it confusing to track your cycle? Understand your cycle better and dive into all things vagina health with certified fertility awareness educator and holistic reproductive health practitioner Lisa Hendrickson-Jack.You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode128. Topics Discussed in this Episode:The birth control pill, its side effects, and the alternatives that you should considerCycle health and ovulationCommon health problems with the menstrual cycle and what to look out forCervical mucus and cervix positioningThe fertility awareness methodThe factors that might affect your temperature readingOvulation predictor kitsSome nutrition and lifestyle strategies that you can implement to optimize your cycle Key Takeaways:With the birth control pill, there are issues with how women have not been informed or not been given the full picture of it. About half of the women, within a year of starting the pill, come off of it because of the side effects.The pill is associated with a whole host of side effects, the most common of which are depression, anxiety, and low libido.For a certain percentage of women, the pill contributes to painful sex, the thinning of the labia, the vaginal opening, and even the shrinkage of the clitoris.The pill is known to deplete a significant number of nutrients including B vitamins.Studies have shown that adolescent girls who are on hormonal birth control are much more likely to also be on antidepressants.The ovulation predictor kit doesn’t confirm that you ovulated. What it does is measure a luteinizing hormone, and the strips are programmed with different thresholds.  Action Steps:Consider getting off the pill if you’re on it and find an alternative.Take it into your own hands to learn about your body, and take the responsibility to pass that on to women.Make sure you’re not undereating. Start with 3 square meals a day with a good balance of protein, fat, and low glycemic carbohydrates.Reduce your chemical exposure.  Lisa said:“For many women, learning to chart the menstrual cycle and understanding how it changes in relation to overall health makes it a fantastic biomarker to pay attention to.” “The pill is central to feminism. It’s like the symbol of feminism because of what it represents. It represents women being able to take charge of their fertility.”  Thanks for listening! Important Announcements:Join our Healthy Hormones Monthly Recipe Club for $9 a month!

What works for one woman doesn’t mean it’s going to work for you.When it comes to building a balanced plate, there are a few things to focus on: healthy fats, protein, and the right carbohydrates and fiber.The more frequently you eat throughout the day, the more you’re spiking your insulin levels. And the more your insulin spikes, the more it impacts your ovaries and sex hormones. Action Steps:Prepare yourself mentally when it comes to food and your kitchen:Get clear on what it is that you want (i.e. the goals that you want to achieve with your health) and how you really want to feel.Make a commitment to ditch your bad habits.Get your kitchen ready and stock it with healthy food, ingredients, and products.Spend some time planning your meals. Think about your week ahead so that you can start meal-prepping and perhaps batch-cooking.Set realistic expectations for yourself.Don’t compare yourself to somebody else’s journey.Ditch the diet mindset.Other tips to think about:Eat intuitively. Take a few deep breaths before you eat. Don’t rush into your meals. Sit in peace and quiet without distractions.Tune in to your hunger.Appreciate your food.Chew your food well.Build a balanced plate.Figure out the best plan of action for you to move forward in your healing journey. Make sure you’re antibiotic- and hormone-free.Manage your insulin levels.Choose a good-quality protein powder Samantha said:“There’s no harm in going grain-free. And the great thing is, you’ve got lots of options to help you with that.”“I don’t want anybody to ‘diet’. I want us to live it. And that’s what’s going to lead to longevity.” Thanks for listening! Important Announcements:Join our Healthy Hormones Monthly Recipe Club for $9 a month!

Try for early detection by taking control of your breasts. Make sure you’re checking them every month. When you’re suspicious of something, go to your doctor. Tanya said:“We have to be optimistic.

How much do you know about PCOS? In this episode, I’m going to break it down to help you get a better understanding of the four different types of PCOS and talk about the symptoms that are often associated with them.You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode125. Topics Discussed in this Episode:What is PCOSWhat causes PCOSThe 4 types of PCOS and their symptomsTests that you can do for PCOS Key Takeaways:Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine system disorders affecting women and affects about 1 in 10 women of child-bearing age.The principal symptom of PCOS is typically irregular periods. Other symptoms include excess facial or body hair, thinning hair, infertility, adult acne, anxiety, brain fog, fatigue, food cravings, hair loss, headaches, inflammation, insulin resistance or diabetes, low progesterone, pelvic pain, periods with no ovulation, recurring miscarriages, and weight gain.Contrary to the name, ovarian cysts don’t cause PCOS. Ovarian cysts are a symptom of the hormonal chaos that’s happening in the body that’s associated with PCOS, but the presence of cysts alone is not enough to diagnose PCOS.The 4 types of PCOS:Insulin-resistant PCOSPost-pill PCOSInflammatory PCOSAdrenal PCOSInsulin-resistant PCOS accounts for up to 70% of cases where there is a decreased ability to manage your blood sugar properly.Post-pill PCOS is often caused by a surge in androgen after you quit hormonal birth control.Chronic inflammation can suppress ovulation and stimulate your ovaries to make more androgen. An overproduction of insulin can do the same thing.If your DHEAS is elevated but your testosterone and other androgenic hormones are in the normal range, this could indicate adrenal PCOS. Action Steps:Work with a qualified practitioner and ask for appropriate testing like the c-reactive protein (CRP) test. Samantha said:“Identifying your PCOS type can really help you to discover your root cause and what steps you can take to support your body.”“Don’t guess. Do some testing and really work with a qualified practitioner.” Thanks for listening! Important Announcements:Join our Healthy Hormones Monthly Recipe Club for $9 a month!

Can you control aging? Michele Drielick has made it her mission to change the way women age. She shares her positive and encouraging message that while getting older is merely the passage of time, aging is something all women can control with the right information.You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode124. Topics Discussed in this Episode:Michelle’s story of seeing her mother’s health declined in the last years of her lifeWhat causes premature agingStrategies to preserve your muscle massTips on how to age gracefully AgelessLX Key Takeaways:The first domino in the aging cascade flips on when we lose muscle. And we start losing muscle in our 30s.The more you yo-yo diet, the more muscle you lose. And when you start losing muscle, your metabolism starts slowing down.Some staggering statistics that suggest that up to 60% of women over 50 are not eating enough protein.When you lose muscle, that sets the stage to lose collagen. And that sets the stage to lose bone.When you sleep, that’s when your body does its healing and building and regenerating. That’s when you have the opportunity to heal your muscle and grow muscle.It’s better to make your own collagen than to take collagen.Lack of grip strength is tied to all-cause mortality. That means that, all things being equal, you will live a shorter lifespan if you are weak. Action Steps:Preserve your muscle massFocus on whole foods and whole sources of protein.Exercise or get movement into your day by engaging in various activities.Get enough sleep.Get supplementation. Michele said:“Little hinges swing big doors. When you focus on making the right changes, you can make a huge impact on the health and longevity and the quality of your life as you age.”“The stronger you become, the better you live. And I dare say it, you live longer but you live better.”“No matter where you start, it’s never too late.

Welcome to another Q&A episode! This time I’m going to answer your questions about using the copper IUD, whether it’s safe to eat phytochemicals, what strategies you can implement to deal with period pain, and more.You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode121. Topics Discussed in this Episode:Why the copper IUD is safeSome of the side effects of using the copper IUDEating soy and phytoestrogensHow your menstrual cycle affects your bowel movementHealing the gutWhat causes dysmenorrhea and how to deal with it Key Takeaways:The copper IUD is a small t-shaped device that your gynecologist would insert into your uterus through the cervix. It’s non-hormonal so it may be your best choice. It’s 99.2% effective for up to 10 years.With copper IUD, there have been a significant number of women who have found they have really painful periods as a side effect, and sometimes longer periods with heavy bleeding.There’s also an increased chance of bacterial vaginosis when using the copper IU because of the disruption in the vaginal microbiome. There’s a slightly increased risk of pelvic inflammatory disease as well.Xenoestrogens are one of the most abundant endocrine disruptors that mimic estrogen. They are found in tons of different types of chemical products.Phytoestrogens are natural xenoestrogens derived from plants. They are able to bind to estrogen receptors.Soy and flax seeds are the biggest and most well-known phytoestrogens.Phytoestrogens are much weaker than your own estrogen or any synthetic estrogen. Depending on your individual biology and natural hormone levels, they can have an estrogenic effect or even an anti-estrogenic effect. So when they bind to your estrogen receptors, they can block more potent estrogens from binding instead. This is a good thing for some women because it will reduce symptoms of estrogen dominance.Organic soy consumed in small amounts has been shown to reduce estrogen dominance in some women. For others, even a modest amount of soy might be too much and can lead to significant menstrual problems like longer cycles, heavier periods, and more cramping.Dysmenorrhea can be caused by the following:EndometriosisBenign tumors found in the female pelvisOvarian cystsUsing the copper IUD Action Step:Consider using the copper IUD instead of the pill or a hormonal contraceptive.Tune in to your body when you decide to take phytoestrogens and be conscious of its effects.Experiment with food and see what works for your body. Just pay attention symptomatically how you feel.Be conscious of how you’re taking care of the gut and what you’re eating. Samantha said:“It’s not necessarily just about the food. It’s more about the food and the woman -- how is that food specifically working with you -- because it’s not a one size fits all when it comes to hormonal health.”“If your menstruation is intense, heavy, and uncomfortable, and even if you’re fine the rest of the month, still, it shouldn’t be something that is that intense and uncomfortable where it’s totally knocking you out and you’re crying in pain.” Thanks for listening! Important Announcements:Don’t forget to connect with me over on Instagram, @holisticwellnessfoodie.

Handing one out to somebody in the hopes that they’re going to follow up with you is not the ideal way to go. It’s your responsibility to follow up with those prospects and not the other way around.You need somebody you can talk to, someone who can take an overview of your business, look at the things you’re doing, and give you direction.Growing your business is a lot about listening to your audience, listening to your community, and finding what they really want and what they’re struggling with.It’s important that you are integrity yourself. This will attract people to you. Action Step:Be clear on what you want from life, on what you want in a career, and show up for yourself.Hire a coach to help you.Find your niche. Samantha said:“That human one-to-one connection and that one-to-one coaching really help you to skyrocket and get so much faster results than anything else.”“The universe did for me what I couldn’t do for myself.” Thanks for listening! Important Announcements:If you’re looking to dive into more of the business world, entrepreneurship, and online marketing, feel free to check out my other Instagram account, @samantha_gladish. I also have my Holistic Business Collective Facebook Group where we offer amazing free training sessions.

What are some of the things that you don’t realize are impacting your stress? Learn more about the not-so-obvious things in your day-to-day life that impact your hormones and adrenal health.You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode119.Topics Discussed in this Episode:Secret stressors:Blood sugar swingsInadequate proteinOxidative stressInflammationDehydrationPoor oxygen deliveryEssential fatty acids Key Takeaways:Insulin and cortisol work hand in hand to bring your body into balance as you experience sugar swings all day long.Overshooting your carb tolerance is eating too many carbs in one sitting.At a minimum, somewhere around 90-100 grams of protein per day is recommended for women.Protein is what’s going to stabilize your blood sugar and satiate you so that you don’t overeat and end up overshooting your carbs.When you have excessive inflammation in your body, it quickly creates a stress burden on all of your hormonal systems.Oxygen is the fountain of youth. Without oxygen, you not only feel cold and tired but pretty much every tissue in your body is going to suffer big time.Essential fatty acids help us better adapt to stress, and help with adrenal fatigue. Action Step:Balance out your meals appropriately with protein, fat, and fiber.Increase your protein intake if you’re not eating enough of it.Get a high-sensitivity CRP test for inflammation, and get on an anti-inflammatory protocol.Drink 3-4 liters of water a day.Supplement with fish oil. Samantha said:“Our modern life stressors expose us to much more oxidation, and our antioxidant system can really get overwhelmed.”“If you think of a hormone as a key and a receptor as a lock, inflammation is like sticking gum over the keyhole, making it harder for your hormones to bind to their specific receptor and create an effect inside your cell.” Thanks for listening! Important Announcements:We are launching the Healthy Hormones Monthly Recipe Club for $9 a month.

How can you optimize your brain? How does sleep play a role in this? Find out as Dr. Paul Hrkal shares some amazing strategies for optimizing your brain health.You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode117 Topics Discussed in this Episode:The most important factors for optimizing the brain The role of sleep, hormones, and the gut in optimizing brain healthRevamping your sleep routine and hygieneThe benefits of melatonin and personalizing its dosageThe different types of magnesium supplements and their benefitsNutrition hacks for better focus and concentrationFixing concussions Key Takeaways:Shift work, especially where you’re always working nights, is very detrimental to your health.Melatonin is a neuro antioxidant, so it not only helps you fall asleep but it also helps protect your brain from some of the damaging effects that might occur from being exposed to all kinds of different things. It also has beneficial effects on inflammation.In general, a melatonin spray works better than tablets.Fueling your brain the right way is key to improving focus and concentration.Hormones play a big role in neurochemicals and neurotransmitters. When it comes to brain health, sleep, and chronic pain, the stress hormones especially play a big role.Our bodies always want to have this balance between action and rest/recovery/digest/repair.A lot of the chemicals that your brain uses are produced by your gut microbiome. At any given point, 40% of what’s in your bloodstream has been produced by bacteria.Concussions can happen to anybody, not just athletes.  Action Step:If you’re doing shift work and your health issues continue to stack up, consider looking for alternative work.Use melatonin to help you get back to your sleep routine after doing shift work.Observe proper sleep hygiene.Take a magnesium supplement.Eat more fiber.Remove from your diet the things that continue to irritate your gut lining. Paul said:“If I’m going to get at the root cause of people’s health issues, I need to have the ability and the structure to be able to do that and not be limited by a cookbook style.”“If you get 4 or 5 hours of sleep, that’s like driving drunk. You’re almost like inebriated. That’s the impact of short-term sleep deprivation.” Thanks for listening!Important Announcements:If you’re looking for an amazing community to connect with and a group of women that are all on their journey to healing and optimizing their health and their hormones, join our Healthy Hormones for Women Podcast Private Community on Facebook. If you haven’t downloaded our FREE 5 Day Sugar Detox Challenge yet, download it now!

Have you ever used cannabis, CBD, or medicinal mushrooms for healing? Author of The Rebel's Apothecary, certified health coach, and creator of the wellness blog Healthy Crush, Jenny Sansouci talks about the healing magic of these three things.You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode116 Topics Discussed in this Episode:The story of Jenny’s dad using cannabis, CBD, and medicinal mushrooms throughout his cancer treatmentWhat CBD is and how it’s different from THCThe benefits of using cannabis, CBD, and mushroomsWhat the endo-cannabinoid system isWhy people would want to use CBD for wellnessMedicinal mushrooms and psychedelic mushrooms Key Takeaways:In the United States, it’s federally legal to sell CBD products that have 0.3% THC or less. Anything higher than that, you have to get it from a licensed dispensary.CBD and THC are two of the most prevalent compounds in the cannabis plant and both have therapeutic benefits. If they’re in a product together, they can boost each other up.CBD helps with sleep, anxiety, and pain.THC is the compound in cannabis that gives you the high. Inhalation is the fastest acting but lasts for the shortest amount of time. The oil tincture under the tongue can take 15-20 minutes to have an effect but lasts anywhere from 4-6 hours. An edible or a capsule will take longer to set in because it has to go through your digestive system but it lasts longer. Action Step:Consider using CBD to help you with sleep, anxiety, and pain. Jenny said:“The more CBD in the product and the less THC, the less likely you are to get high.”“That’s why I wanted to put them in one book, mushrooms and cannabis, because the stigma is changing so much… they can be very therapeutic if we learn how to work with them correctly.” Thanks for listening! Important Announcements:If you’re looking for an amazing community to connect with and a group of women that are all on their journey to healing and optimizing their health and their hormones, join our Healthy Hormones for Women Podcast Private Community on Facebook. If you haven’t downloaded our FREE 5 Day Sugar Detox Challenge yet, download it now!

How can you use your intuition to bring your hormones into balance? Holistic nutritionist and founder of Good Witch Kitchen, Kristen Ciccolini talks about going beyond the food and how you can get off the dieting mentality.You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode115 Topics Discussed in this Episode:What it means to connect to your intuitionHow you lose your intuition around foodUsing your intuition to balance your hormonesEating intentionallyMeal planningPhysical hunger vs emotional hungerWhat it means to be weight inclusiveJournaling as a tool to connect to your intuitionPositive body image Key Takeaways:Connecting to your intuition means listening to your body. It’s not the easiest thing to do, but once you get the hang of it, it can lead to a lot of improvements in your health.It’s a huge stress reliever to not follow any arbitrary rules and it feels really good to give your body what it wants. That enjoyment alone can be very healing to the body.When you honor your body’s hunger signals without restricting foods you like or restricting your food intake to certain times of day, you’re eating when your body needs food so you’re regulating your blood sugar.Intuition is really just information coming into your conscious and subconscious that helps you make more informed decisions. When you continuously use it to make food decisions that feel good, your hormones will eventually fall back into balance.Eating with intention allows you to enjoy the experience more because you’re more present.Having a positive image is separating yourself from what other people expect of you.  Action Step:Listen to what your body is telling you in terms of hunger and all different areas of your health.Acknowledge that time is a construct. There is no reason that you have to wait a certain time of day to have a meal.Practice eating intentionally.Plan your meals.Practice journaling.Clean out your social media feed and get rid of anything that doesn’t make you feel good or gets you in that comparison trap. Kristen said:“For some people, dieting can go beyond what’s mentally healthy for them and it causes anxiety around food -- they’re afraid to eat the wrong things.”“Meal planning can be a tool that really supports your intuitive practice because it ensures that your needs are met throughout the day.” Thanks for listening! Important Announcements:Connect with me over on Instagram, @holisticwellnessfoodie.

Dive into the episode with me as I talk about my hormone status, adrenal health, and the results I got from my most recent DUTCH test.You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode114 Topics Discussed in this Episode:My 2017 DUTCH results vs my 2020 DUTCH resultsThe strategies I’m going to implement based on my DUTCH resultsKey Takeaways:It’s recommended that you do your DUTCH test every year.If you haven’t done the DUTCH test before, know that it’s important that you test at the right time of your cycle. In a 28-day cycle, you would typically want to test somewhere around day 19 to day 21.Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) comes from the adrenal glands and is the “mother hormone” to your sex hormones.B vitamins are involved in every neurological process in the body and taking them in methylated form is more potent.Wherever you are in your health and your hormone journey, the more you can dive in on all these different areas of your health and your life, it all has an impact and you deserve making this commitment to yourself.Action Step:Work with a practitioner who can gauge where you’re at in your cycle and help you find the right timing to get the DUTCH test. Samantha said:“If you haven’t done the DUTCH test before, the biggest reason why I recommend it is because you can look at your hormone metabolites, which is something you can’t see through blood work.”“If you’re not sleeping, you’re not healing.” Thanks for listening! Important Announcements:If you don’t have my book yet, The 30-Day Hormone Solution, grab a copy over at hormonesolutionbook.com and get over $350 in free bonuses. Connect with me over on Instagram, @holisticwellnessfoodie.

Are you struggling with environmental allergies? Find out some of the natural ways that you can treat them.You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode113 Topics Discussed in this Episode:The link between hormones and histamine intoleranceThe pollen apocalypseThe 411 on histamineSeasonal allergiesSome common allergy symptoms and their underlying causesThe side-effects of over-the-counter antihistaminesWhat to avoid and what to include in your diet during allergy season Key Takeaways:Where you might be in your menstrual cycle and having elevated estrogen levels during your menstrual cycle can induce a histamine release in your body.There have been increases in pollen counts in the environment as one of the effects of climate change, and experts predict that allergies will get worse in the next three to five years.Histamine is a chemical compound that’s very important in our immune system and plays a vital role in the inflammation that occurs in the body.The severity of symptoms of allergic rhinitis can vary widely from season to season and can impact your day-to-day life.Your risk of suffering from seasonal allergy symptoms dramatically increases if you have an underlying medical condition, unmanaged stress, and pregnancy.Allergies are considered disorders of the immune system. The body is over-reacting to harmless substances and produces these antibodies to attack the substance, which is what is causing your symptoms.Acupuncture can reduce the symptoms associated with seasonal allergies without any side-effects. Action Steps:If you’re spending a lot of time outdoors and you know you’re reacting to pollen, make sure that you take a shower once you get home. If you have pets that have spent time outside the house, hose them down or wipe them down as well.Avoid the following foods that can aggravate your allergic symptoms:AlcoholCaffeineConventional dairyChocolatePeanutsSugarArtificial sweetenersProcessed foodsMelonsBananasCucumbersSunflower seedsShellfishBottled citrus juiceEchinaceaCamomileWheatSoyDried fruitsInclude the following foods in your diet during allergy season:Raw, local honeyHot and spicy foods like cinnamon, cayenne, cayenne pepper, ginger, onion, garlic, etc.Bone brothProbiotic-rich foods like kefir, kombucha, sauerkraut, kimchi, and raw cheese and other raw organic dairy productsPineappleApple cider vinegarSwiss chardCarrotsYamsBeetsCabbageWild-caught salmonGood quality poultryOrganic grass-fed beef and lambFresh herbs and spicesDried herbsHorseradishTake supplements that will help to fight allergies:SpirulinaQuercetinButterburProbioticsVitamine ABromelainZincStinging nettleUse a Neti pot to relieve nasal congestion and flush out mucus.Use essential oils.Get acupuncture.Stay hydrated.Shower before bed.Wash your clothes and your bedding frequently.Consider replacing your carpets at home.Declutter. Samantha said:“Not all individuals have a heightened sensitivity or an allergic reaction to all pollens so it’s important to pay attention and recognize what really is triggering your allergies and the time of year they’re showing up.”“A strong immune system is key to fighting seasonal allergies, and as we know, your immune system lives in your gut, which is why it’s so important to be supporting your gut health and your microbiome.” Thanks for listening! Important Announcements:If you don’t have my book yet, The 30-Day Hormone Solution, grab a copy over at hormonesolutionbook.com and get over $350 in free bonuses.Connect with me over on Instagram, @holisticwellnessfoodie.

Catharine Arnston is on the show to talk about spirulina and chlorella, the power couple for health and wellness.You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode112 \Topics Discussed in this Episode:What are algaeThe benefits of spirulina and chlorella and their differencesWhy chlorella is great for cleansing and detoxifying Getting rid of the lead in chlorellaSpirulina for babies and petsSpirulina dosageFighting COVID-19 with algaeKey Takeaways:Algae is a food group not a supplement. Macroalgae, like seaweed and kelp, is high in fiber, usually has iodine in it, and doesn’t have a lot of nutrients.Microalgae is microscopic and it’s everywhere.

Just because you have a gene, it doesn’t mean it’s going to express itself.Whether a gene gets turned on or off is largely dictated by your dietary choices, your stress, your environmental toxins, and your physical activity.The essential oils fit into all the things in our life that we should be thinking of in terms of having the healthiest epigenome that we can have. Action Steps:Think about what feelings are coming up in your body and what thoughts are creating those feelings because it’s your feelings that drive your actions that in turn create results.Look at the thoughts in your head and where they’re coming from and look at how you can change them to further influence the emotions that drive your actions.Do thought work.Make sure your brain is as sharp as it can be. Dr. Laura said:“Basically everything we know that creates a foundation for good wellness influences these epigenetic mechanisms that can turn on and off our genes.”“We have so much power over our health, and we’ve never been taught that.” Thanks for listening! Important Announcements:Join our webinar with CanPrev on Strategies to Optimize Your Hormone Health.

Former opera singer turned nutritionist and gut expert Alyssa Labrecque is on the show to talk about beating IBS and other gut issues, and how you can optimize your gut health.You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode108 Topics Discussed in this Episode:Why gut health is importantWhy you might be experiencing digestive issues and when do you need to start worrying about themWhat gut maintenance looks likeWhy maintaining your minerals is importantHow the gut is connected to your hormones and hormonal imbalancesThe symptoms of SIBO and how you might get itThe Low FODMAP DietWhat to look for when purchasing probiotics Key Takeaways:You should be pooping two to three times per day.You should be pooping in quantity from your elbow to your wrist every single day.You can carry up to 20 pounds of poop in your colon, and if you’re not eliminating all that poop, that’s going to affect not only your gut but also your hormone health.Maintenance of your gut has to happen, otherwise, gut issues will start to snowball and affect other bodily systems.When it comes to gut issues, mineral deficiencies can have a big role in the symptoms that you’re experiencing.Hormonal imbalances are a symptom and we need to understand what’s causing them to happen in the first place. Otherwise, we’re just managing the symptom and we’re not preventing or reversing a health issue or regaining quality of life.If there’s a hormone imbalance going on, there’s usually a bacterial imbalance.Action Steps:Make sure to maintain your good bacteria, your enzymes, and the integrity of your gut, i.e. preventing leaky gut from occurring.Get your mineral levels tested and see what minerals you need. Alyssa said:“It’s incredible to see what some of our daily habits or how some of our daily habits might be impacting us.”“Supplementing is important but also understanding how can I ensure that I’m absorbing these nutrients that I’m depleted in.” Thanks for listening! Important Announcements: Connect with me over on Instagram, @holisticwellnessfoodie.

What does it mean to go keto? How will it affect our hormones and our menopause? Join my conversation with menopause and sexual health expert Dr. Anna Cabeca as we talk about taking care of our bodies and our hormones as we age, and why the keto-green way is great for supporting hormonal health.You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode106.Topics Discussed in this Episode:The keto-green way and why it’s incredible for supporting your hormones, energy, brain health, and weight lossWhat dirty keto meansWhy keto is essential for women over 40What it means to get into ketosisHow to avoid the keto fluThe benefits of intermittent fasting and the right way to do it Key Takeaways:There are many challenges that we face as women when we hit 40 and beyond, and one of these is metabolism.The keto-green plan is about the smallest changes we can make that give us the fastest, longest-lasting results.It takes more than hormones to fix our hormones.Our urine pH is an important marker for our health, just like our blood pressure, our pulse, our temperature, and our weight. It tells us a lot about what’s going on with our body and our environment.Straight keto diets without fiber in them have been shown to decrease the health of the gut.Getting into ketosis helps with insulin sensitivity.The use of glucose for fuel in the brain is an estrogen-dependent process. So when our estrogen and progesterone levels decline, we see this deficiency in the brain’s ability to use glucose for fuel. Action Steps:Check your urine pH to make sure it’s alkaline.Get into keto the keto-green way. Anna said:“Getting into ketosis the healthy way and getting alkaline at the same time is just a phenomenal experience, and that is why I’ve been sharing this and sharing my keto-green way with everyone I can because it really does transform our life.”“It is absolutely within your control to optimize your health and to gain resilience and revitalize your body and be in optimal health.

Why is it important to drink more water? It’s one of those things that we often overlook. Naturopathic doctor Andrea Maxim is on the show to talk to us about how incredibly important it is and how hyperhydration benefits our hormones among other things.You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode105.Topics Discussed in this Episode:Hyperhydration and why we need to drink more waterThe importance of hydration for detoxificationHow to hyper hydrate successfullyReigniting your thirst signalWater quality and water sourcingEssential minerals that are important for hydration Key Takeaways:Most of the symptoms and complaints or issues that you have with your body can be resolved or at least improved by hyperhydration.Every single element of your body, including every single one of your cells, requires water to allow for fluid exchange.Any source of inflammation will cause your hormones to become imbalanced. When this happens, water is the first thing we should be going to.Your large intestine is controlled by how hydrated your body is. If you are dehydrated, your body will reserve all of the fluid that it has to maintain your organs, and the more likely you are to be constipated.The urine is a huge source to get rid of heavy metals and water-based toxins in the body. Hydration significantly helps with constantly flushing out the bladder.Drinking a lot of water when you wake up in the morning turns on your metabolism. It gets your lymphatic system going, it gets your bowels moving, and it gives energy to your brain, your lungs, your muscles, and your joints.The thirst signal in your body is so subtle while the hunger signal is so massive. Oftentimes, we think we’re hungry when we’re actually thirsty. Action Steps:Your brain is 80% water. If you’re suffering from brain fog, fatigue, or if your memory isn’t as sharp as it used to be, incorporate drinking more water into your lifestyle.Think of any single issue that you have with your body right now, try 10 days of hyperhydration, and see it if improves.If you’re a woman, drink 3 to 4 liters of water a day. If you’re a man, you can go for 6 to 8 liters.As soon as you wake up, find the biggest glass that you can and drink as much water out of that glass as quickly as you can.Sip on a liter of water from breakfast to lunchtime, another liter from lunchtime to dinner time, and another liter from dinner time to bedtime, so long as it doesn’t impact your ability to stay asleep. Andrea said:“I like to think of the liver like a sponge. If that liver is completely full of crap and stuff that we’ve been exposed to… we need to be filling up that sponge, wringing it out daily, and then rinse and repeat.” “Yes, there is water in wine; yes, there is water in tea and coffee, but the innate principle of those drinks are very dehydrating. We have to be drinking responsibly one for one at the very least.” Thanks for listening! Important Announcements: Connect with me over on Instagram, @holisticwellnessfoodie.

Certified health coach Maria Claps shares her expertise and knowledge about this subject to give us an episode that’s packed with valuable information.You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode103 Topics Discussed in this Episode:Estrogen dominance and how it changes in women as they ageWhat happens when your estrogen starts to drop offThe different symptoms and problems that can arise with low estrogenThe best way to make the transition from estrogen dominance to estrogen absenceBioidentical hormone replacement therapy and when you should consider itThe DUTCH testBioidentical hormones vs synthetic hormonesKey Takeaways:Estrogen dominance is when your estrogen is out of balance with your progesterone.

How can you reclaim your hormone health and have a healthy period? Creator and author of Fix Your Period, Nicole Jardim, shares how to effectively address a wide variety of period problems by using evidence-based information.You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode102. Topics Discussed in this Episode:Why the birth control pill is detrimental to your healthThe non-hormonal birth control optionsWhat it means to have a healthy periodWhat your period can tell you about your healthWhy ovulation is importantPeriod cramps and what an irregular cycle might meanMyths and misconceptions around your periodWhat an optimal diet looks like for supporting hormonal health and your cycle Key Takeaways:The goal of any hormonal birth control is to stop you from ovulating. However, what we fail to realize is that stopping ovulation for any length of time can be detrimental to our overall health. The birth control pill is referred to as the lifestyle drug. It’s been used not just to prevent pregnancy but to address lifestyle issues like period-related problems and even acne.A healthy menstrual cycle is 25 to 35 days long. If it’s below 25 days, it tends to mean you have too short of a luteal phase or it’s associated with heavier, longer periods and more blood clots. If it’s longer than 35 days, it’s usually associated with polycystic ovary syndrome or another condition that’s causing you to not ovulate consistently.Your period should be fluctuating by only 2 or 3 days every cycle. This means that you’re ovulating regularly each month.Ideally, your period should be somewhere between 3 and 7 days.If you spot for a day or two before your period, that’s okay, but anything longer than that could signify a lower progesterone state in many cases.If you eat something that doesn’t agree with your metabolism or your body, your blood sugar is going to go way higher than it should. Action Steps:Tune in to your body and improve your body literacy.Get off the birth control pill and make the switch to non-hormonal birth control.Know the basics of a healthy period.Track your cycle.Don’t over-complicate your diet. Get back to the basics and keep it simple. Nicole said:“Our hormones are all talking to each other all day long through the endocrine glands and the endocrine system, so if we’re just focused on one hormone, first of all, we don’t even know why that hormone is out of whack in the first place…”“We can’t out-supplement a bad diet. We can’t out-supplement a lifestyle that is not sustainable, that is not suitable for our overall health.”Thanks for listening! Important Announcements:The Metabolic Reset program is now ON SALE!

Do you want to know more about hormone health and the importance of lab testing? Founder of Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN) Reed Davis is here to talk about hormones and the common denominators in labs when it comes to hormone testing.You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode101.Topics Discussed in this Episode:Hormone health and why hormones are important to the bodyWhat the hormones are in charge of in your bodyMetabolic chaos and the different hormonal symptoms you might be experiencingNatural things that you can implement to balance out your hormonesCellular healthHormone tests and the common denominator in lab testing Key Takeaways:Hormones are messengers and signals that float around the body. What the endocrine system does is it sends out these messengers, and wherever there’s a receptor for that hormone, you get an effect.Hormones are incredibly important when it comes to bone density.If you’re stressed out all the time, this idea of balance between good bacteria and bad bacteria goes out of whack.As far as nourishment goes, you need to eat the right combination of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. And those ratios are really critical in terms of producing energy. Whether or not to take bio-identical hormones might depend on how old you are. People who are really old generally feel much better and function better if they’re taking bio-identical hormones.The general principles of health-building involve corrective diet, rest, exercise, stress reduction, and supplementation. Action Steps:Don’t just cram down a bunch of supplements. Rather, make sure you don’t get exposed to the virus that’s going around.Build a good, strong resistance to things. This boils down to being healthy.Eat right. In other words, eat good, nutritious food. Reed said:“If you lived yourself into trouble -- you ate yourself into it, you lacked-of-sleep yourself into it, stressed yourself into it -- then you can reverse that every step of the way. You just need someone with a system to follow.”“A sense of wellbeing should go along with being well-nourished. It should nourish your brain as well.”Thanks for listening!Important Announcements:We’ve opened registration to the Metabolic Reset program. Join now!

How is a woman’s brain different from a man’s brain? How can women optimize and support their brain health? Neuroscientist Dr. Sarah McKay specializes in translating brain science research into simple, actionable strategies for peak performance, creativity, health, and wellbeing. In this episode, she shares her insights into the neuroscience of women’s health, hormones, and happiness.You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode98. Topics Discussed in this Episode:The neuroscience of women’s health, hormones, and happinessThe difference between the male and the female brainHow the brain impacts our emotions and behaviorsThe different life stages in a woman’s life and what happens to the brain in each of those stagesSimple day-to-day things that you can do to optimize and support the health of your brain Key Takeaways:The social experiences we have throughout our teenage years and early 20s are really important in shaping our brains. The more positive life experiences we can have at that point in time are definitely the ones that we want to have.One of the most significant changes we see in terms of the structure of the woman’s brain changing is during her first pregnancy.Men and women are very different hormonally and those hormones will impact the brain. So there is definitely a difference in emotional behavior between men and women.Our brains learn to predict our emotional status based on the context, based on our experiences, and based on what is happening in our bodies. Hormones are not the sole provider of our emotional state. Action Steps:Optimize your brain health:Eat more vegetables.Get enough sleep when it’s dark and do things outdoors under natural sunlight.Don’t consume too much artificial light. Sarah said:“I think it’s a massive misunderstanding that male brains and female brains are entirely different species… if we were to scan two brains, we would never be able to know whether it’s a male or a female.” “Hormones have absolutely no bearing on cognitive capacity or ability -- all those thinking tasks that we can do.” Thanks for listening!Important Announcements:Connect with me over on Instagram, @holisticwellnessfoodie.

Welcome to the Q&A chat together with Coach Valerie, where we answer your questions regarding thyroid health, PMS, cravings, and many more! We hope that you can take a lot of the strategies that we share. Enjoy the episode!You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode97 Topics Discussed in this Episode:How to deal with gas and bloatingHow to stop sugar cravingsSugar cravings vs hungerHealing your body after years of taking birth control pillsCycle mappingHow to deal with adult acne Key Takeaways:The gut is the foundation for everything, so symptoms of gas and bloating are most likely diet-related and can be connected to the hormones.Gas and bloating are indicative that you’re lacking the necessary stomach factors to break down the food that’s sitting in your stomach.Gas and bloating can also be indicative of an imbalance in your gut flora.Hunger, compared to cravings, is going to take more time to build up.It typically takes 3 to 6 months for your body to heal from taking birth control pills, but it’s not unusual for it to take up to a year.Action Steps:When dealing with gas and bloating:Assess your diet. Look at the things you’re eating and not eating, and try to remove those offending foods (e.g. gluten, dairy, refined sugar). Eliminate those for about 4 weeks and see where your symptoms are at that point.Make sure you’re getting in 3L of water per day and check to see if you have enough hydrochloric acid to break down your food.If you’re struggling with a lot of cravings, supplement with L-glutamine.Take the DUTCH test to stay on top of your hormonal health.Support liver detoxification when you come off the pill.Be conscious of what you’re using on your skin and stick to a very simple cleansing routine for your skin.Valerie said:“When we specifically see gas and bloating, that’s a really clear indication that the gut needs some TLC overall.”“I think every woman should do [the DUTCH Test] at least once in their lifetime. It’s such a great tool to really explore your sex hormones and your metabolites and your cortisol, your melatonin, so you get an overall picture of what’s going on.”Thanks for listening!Important Announcements:Connect with me over on Instagram, @holisticwellnessfoodie.

This works really great for taking off your make-up.Mix some castor oil with a little bit of coconut oil (1:1) for sunburns. This also works as a natural lip balm.Hydrate your skin with a quarter cup of castor oil with a three-quarter cup of either olive oil or jojoba oil. This is a great moisturizer from head to toe.Try growing your eyelashes by applying castor oil on them using a mascara wand.Use castor oil mixed with coconut oil as a hair mask for strong, shiny hair.Rub the castor oil all over your body, from boobs to pubes.Avoid using the castor oil during your period as it increases circulation and lymphatic flow.Make a castor oil pack:Take a piece of flannel, approximately the size of your hand and saturate it with high-quality cold-pressed castor oil.Lay the flannel on top of your liver (located on the right side of your body, just under your ribs) and place a hot water bottle on top of it. Samantha said:“The castor oil encourages lymphatic drainage, and it can be really great for helping to shrink cysts and fibroids.”“[Castor oil] is incredibly therapeutic, it’s wonderful for the skin, it’s wonderful for detoxification, and for liver health.” Thanks for listening! Important Announcements:Connect with me over on Instagram, @holisticwellnessfoodie.

What can a genetic test tell you about yourself? Get ready to have your mind blown as one of the smartest women that I know, Dr. Robyn Murphy, talks about genetic testing and the things that you can learn from getting a genetic test.You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode89 Topics Discussed in this Episode:What it means to test your DNAThe types of genetic testingThe things that we can learn by testing our DNAThe connection between the gallbladder, estrogen, and chemical toxicity, and how it relates to geneticsThe DUTCH testHow your diet is impacting your genesThe keto diet and whether it’s the best option for youHow to know if you’re getting the right amount of nutrients Key Takeaways:Your DNA is the code that provides the information for your cells what to make, how to function, and how to respond to the environment. This is passed down through lineage -- you get half of it from your mother, and the other half from your father.The way that the report of your genetic test is delivered is through easy-to-understand terms. It’s more about what the action items are.Dietary intervention. What type of diet are you going to best respond to? Are you sensitive to fat and gaining weight? Are you going to respond well to a keto diet or a low-fat diet for weight loss? Sensitivities. Do you have risk factors for celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity? Nutrients. What is your individual nutritional need? Are you getting enough B vitamins? Do you need to supplement? Are you getting enough choline?Physical fitness and exercise. What types of exercise do you have more predilection towards? Detox pathways.Hormone health.Obesity risks.Mental wellness.The only food sensitivity that we can really look at with a genetic test is gluten sensitivity. It has to do with how the immune system is responding to the food based on whether there’s a risk for celiac disease or whether there’s non-celiac gluten sensitivity.The methylation pathway is found in every single one of cells for the most part, and it’s what’s responsible for healing our DNA, for repairing our cells and making sure that we have something called SAM (S-Adenosyl methionine), which is used for hundreds of biochemical pathways. Action Steps:Get a genetic test and start to understand more about your individual health.Do a follow-up testing to the DUTCH test annually or bi-annually and be mindful of appropriate surveillance as well talking to your healthcare provider for healthy estrogen and hormones.Consider supplementing to help increase your nutrient stores and make sure you’re optimizing to make sure all your cells and biochemical pathways are working properly. Robyn said:“The lifestyle genetics, what we’re using this information for, is to determine what specific lifestyle strategies are going to be best for that individual.

How can we tap into our intuition and get in the flow, and find our creative energy? Meredith Dylan shares her insights on how we can get connected to ourselves and the universe, and how we can tap into the cosmos for guidance.You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode88 Topics Discussed in this Episode:How Meredith got into astrology and numerologyWhat astrology and numerology meanWhy astrology mattersWhat we need to know about the energy for 2020How to get into a state of flow and become more connected with cosmic energyWhy you should consider taking an improv classHow to use the information you learn from astrology and numerologyHow learning about her hormonal health strengthened Meredith’s spiritual experience Key Takeaways:Numerologically, 2020 is a “4” year because when you add up 2+0+2+0 it equals 4. And that is a vibration or frequency of the dedicated hard worker. So this is the year where our work is the focus. We’re building foundations and routines to support as a collective what we’re building.Each planet represents a psycho-spiritual function.Jupiter represents the part of us that’s intuitive, the part of us that is always expanding, always growing, just like the universe. Saturn represents our authority, how we interact with the world, how we interact with society, and how we show ourselves as leaders.Pluto represents our soul, as well as the process of death, transformation, and rebirth.The nodes of the moon are the psycho-spiritual function that represents our evolution.The south node represents what we need to let go of, what we’re releasing to move towards where we want to go.The north node represents the things that we’re cultivating, growing, and nurturing within us to help us evolve on an individual and a collective level.2020 is a great time to go to school and focus on your local community.Numerology is like paint by numbers whereas astrology is like abstract painting. In numerology, once you know what a number means, no matter where you see it, it’s always the same meaning.January is a “5” month, which means its a month of change.Astrology is best used when it’s about self study. Action Steps:How to connect to the flow:Have a routine that feels nourishing.Take an improv class Meredith said:“When we’re in peace, when we’re in ease, it’s when the universe is moving through us. And so if we build out space in our day to connect, then whenever we’re feeling like we’re not connected, we notice and then we’re able to come back and ground and center.” “When you practice improv or you become an improviser, you start experiencing reality in a more magical way and you’re more open to miracles in life because you’ve seen them happen on stage.” Thanks for listening!Important Announcements:Join the Metabolic Reset and save $200 until January 12th.

How you can best support yourself over the holidays? The holiday season can be a stressful and sometimes overwhelming time for a lot of people. In this Q&A episode, I share some great strategies on how you can best support yourself while dealing with the holidays. You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode87 Topics Discussed in this Episode:What causes hypothalamic amenorrhea and what you can do about itStrategies to support yourself when you’re on the pill or getting off the pillTips to stop acid reflux and constipationHealthy holiday survival tips Key Takeaways:Functional hypothalamic amenorrhea is a condition characterized by the absence of a menstrual period for three or four months in a woman of reproductive age. What’s happening here is that there is a breakdown in communication between the hypothalamus, your pituitary glands, and your ovaries.The pill is one of the biggest causes of amenorrhea. This poses a problem for many of the women who have been on the pill for many years because their ovaries may have become resistant to resuming ovulation.Your hormones need fat to function. Pregnenolone is the mother hormone and it’s synthesized from cholesterol.Acid reflux is typically due to too little acid production, which is so important for digestive health.Stress and fatigue are two of the biggest immune system offenders. Action Steps:Simple strategies to support yourself when you’re having amenorrhea:Start incorporating more protein and fat into your diet.Supplement with B vitamins.Work on healing and supporting your gut.Exercise.Re-balancing tips when you have acid reflux:Avoid trigger foods like coffee, chocolate, alcohol, tomatoes, pepper, spicy foods, and citrus foods. Don’t eat anything 2 to 3 hours before bed.Take apple cider vinegar. Incorporate deglycyrrhizinated licoriceSupport your body over the holidays:Make sure you’re getting in your vitamin D.Supplement with zinc.Take a daily probiotic.If you are prone to getting cold sores, take 1,000 to 2,000 mg of L-lysine.Take immune supportive mushrooms.Have things in moderation.Have a hand sanitizer on hand.Rest more and stress less.Do the movement that you love and that feels good in your body.Make sure you stay hydrated. Samantha said:“If you find that this is the time of year where you do typically get sick… recovery can take longer because you might be eating too much sugar, drinking too much caffeine, maybe overdoing it on the alcohol -- all things that suppress the immune system.”“There’s nothing wrong with going out and enjoying yourself but have things in moderation. You don’t need to overdo it.” Thanks for listening! Important Announcements:Join our FREE 5 Day Sugar Detox Challenge! The Metabolic Reset is currently open for registration and it’s currently on SALE!

What do you do when you have histamine intolerance? Board-certified doctor of natural medicine, Dr. Becky Campbell shares insights from her book The 4-Phase Histamine Reset Plan. So if you’re dealing with any histamine issues, this episode is perfect for you!You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode86Topics Discussed in this Episode:What is histamine?What happens when we can’t break down histamine properly?How can you test for histamine intolerance?What are examples of high-histamine foods and histamine-liberating foods?What are the common causes of histamine intolerance?What is the link between thyroid and histamine?What is the connection between stress and histamine?How can you meal prep when you have histamine intolerance? Key Takeaways:Histamine is something that we need in the body. Its main role is to help you get rid of allergens.One of the enzymes responsible for breaking down histamine is diamine oxidase (DAO). You can test for histamine intolerance by testing for DAO, although it’s not very reliable.The best way to test for histamine intolerance is to eat foods high in histamine. If you get any new symptoms or your current symptoms increase, you most likely have it. The follow-up to that is to remove those foods for a week, and if you start to see a reduction of those symptoms, that’s when you know you have histamine intolerance.The common causes of histamine intolerance:Mast cell activation syndromeGluten intoleranceLeaky gutVitamin deficienciesGut infectionIrritable bowel diseaseGenetic mutationsLeftovers are a very big trigger for people with histamine intolerance because the longer the food cooks and the longer the food sits, the more histamine is being produced and the more bacteria is being produced. Action Steps:Test for histamine intolerance.Cut out high-histamine foods in your diet. Dr. Becky said:“One of the best ways to get rid of histamine intolerance or to really, really manage [it] is to test your gut, see what you’ve got going on in there, and kill those infections.” “High estrogen levels really can drive histamine in the body. It can really raise histamine levels.” Thanks for listening! Important Announcements:Join our FREE 5 Day Sugar Detox Challenge! The Metabolic Reset is currently open for registration and it’s currently on SALE!

What happens when you have high estrogen levels, and what can you do about it? If you want to learn more about estrogen dominance, this podcast is chock-full with the information that will help you avoid it or heal it, and inspire you to make that change to hormonal health!You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode09/ Topics Discussed in this Episode:What is estrogen dominance?What are the symptoms of estrogen dominance?What are some causes of estrogen dominance?What can we do to heal estrogen dominance?Key Takeaways:Estrogen dominance for women is the condition of having far too much estrogen in relation to other hormones, in particular, progesterone in the body.With the overexposure that we have to plastics, chemicals, environmental toxins, food toxins, and stress, there is a good chance that many people are dealing with estrogen dominance.One of the main reasons why there has been a noticeable rise in estrogen dominance among women is because the use of the birth control pill has become so popular.The more fat cells you have, the more estrogen you will make. And the more estrogen you make, the more fat you will store. Action Steps:Do a DUTCH test or a saliva test to find out where your hormone levels are at.Limit your soy and coffee intake.Find a healthier alternative to the birth control pill.Avoid personal care products that contain xenoestrogens and other toxic chemicals.Filter your water and drink out of glass or stainless steel.Eat enough fiber and choose organic as much as possible.Dry brush.Ditch the plastic.Manage your stress.Take supplements that can help with estrogen dominance. Samantha said:“The pill is really going to create the perfect storm for hormonal imbalances.”“It’s really important to support a healthy body weight and to support detoxification overall.” Thanks for listening!Important Announcements:Join our FREE 5 Day Sugar Detox Challenge!Save 20% on Skin Essence products with the coupon code healthy hormones and get free shipping on orders of $50 or more in the US and Canada.Skin Essence Canada SiteSkin Essence US Site Connect with me over on Instagram, @holisticwellnessfoodie.

What are the different skincare routines that we can implement for anti-aging or for acne-prone skin? David Brooke shares about Skin Essence and guides us through the importance of organic skincare. You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode83. Topics Discussed in this Episode:All about Skin Essence OrganicsWhat inspired David to create his own skincare brandThe toxic ingredients in conventional skincare products that you want to avoidWhy plant oils are better than traditional creamsThe different Skin Essence products and when to use themSkincare routine for healing and supporting acne-prone skin Key Takeaways:The best thing about an oil is the more you use it, the richer it is.When you put a proper oil formulation on your skin, it helps you achieve the pH balance. If you have oily prone skin, the best thing you can use is oil because your skin will not try to create more of what doesn’t need it. If you have dry skin, you need rich hydration that goes deep into the skin.When it comes to anti-aging, you need vitamins, minerals and enzymes to enter into the skin and not just sit on the surface.So many skincare lines are made with synthetic ingredients that are not only harmful but ineffective. Synthetic ingredients are fake. You can’t get real results from fake things.Your skin is a living organ, therefore, it needs nourishment. Action Steps:Read the ingredients of the personal care products that you’re purchasing before you make your purchase. If it’s ingredients you can’t put in your mouth, don’t put it in your skin.Cleanse your skin twice a day, morning and night. Make sure to remove your makeup. David said:“If you want to be healthy, you’ve got to eat healthy. If you want your skin to be healthy, you’ve got to use healthy ingredients.”“If you want to be healthy, you have to make healthy choices. And the only way to make healthy choices is to make informed choices.” Thanks for listening! Important Announcements:My NEW BOOK, The 30-Day Hormone Solution, will be shipping is less than a month!

It’s going to provide you with so much data and information about your body.The Copper IUD can deplete your body’s ability to absorb zinc, so if you’re going to use it, it’s recommended that you supplement with zinc Action Steps:Be conscious of the synthetic hormones that you are putting into your body.Consider doing natural family planning.Use the barrier method. Samantha said:“As we age, our hormones do decline. And so it’s really important to integrate some important protocols and strategies and a lot of self-care so we can age gracefully and we can have a lot of ease around our cycles and as we head into menopause.”“If you know you want to be a mom in the future, use condoms today because it’s really one of the best ways to protect your reproductive organs and keep them healthy…” Thanks for listening! Important Announcements:Pre-Order my NEW BOOK, The 30-Day Hormone Solution at hormonesolutionbook.com and grab over $350 in free online bonuses!Connect with me over on Instagram, @holisticwellnessfoodie.

How do environmental toxins impact your health and hormones? What can you do to avoid them? Environmental toxins expert, educator, and certified holistic health coach Lara Adler talks about the unaddressed link between chemicals and chronic health problems.You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode80. Topics Discussed in this Episode:Water quality and water contaminationHow we can filter our water effectivelyEndocrine disruptors and their impact on our hormonesThe different products you need to be conscious ofWhere to start when it comes to minimizing your toxic exposureWhy matcha tea is good for you Key Takeaways:In the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency regulates approximately 91 chemicals in the drinking water. However, there are 300+ chemicals in the drinking water that are not regulated.There are 77 million Americans who are drinking water that violated the Safe Water Drinking Act because of excessive levels of regulated chemicals. So just because it’s regulated, it doesn’t mean that they are within safe ranges.Everybody’s water is different. There is no one perfect solution, product, or brand of water filter that we can say everybody should buy.Fifty percent of the chlorine that we absorb in our body comes from the shower.Endocrine disruptors are chemicals or substances that block or mimic the communication of natural hormones in the body. They masquerade as real hormones. Action Steps:Know what’s happening with your water before running out to the store to buy a filter. First, check out your water quality report.Be mindful of plastic that comes in contact with your food.Ditch the home fragrances.Consider getting an air filter. Lara said:“What I think is really hard for people to grasp is that hormonal imbalance [is] a slow burn. Cancer is a process. Our hormones changing… these are things that happen over time.” “I don’t want to be plastic phobic but I do want to be mindful of plastic as it comes in contact with my food.” Thanks for listening! Important Announcements:Pre-Order my NEW BOOK - The 30-Day Hormone Solution at hormonesolutionbook.com and grab over $350 in free online bonuses! Connect with me over on Instagram, @holisticwellnessfoodie.

What does the lunar cycle have to do with your menstrual cycle? Registered holistic nutritionist and medical exercise specialist Jenn Pike educates us on how we can sync our cycle with the moon and helps us understand our bodies and ourselves in a whole new light.You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode79. Click here to listen on iTunes, Stitcher, or Spotify: Topics Discussed in this Episode:What it means to sync with your cycle and your hormonal rhythmsThe different phases of your cycle and how to understand themHow to sync your nutrition, movement, and exercise with the different phases of your cycleHow to sync with the lunar cycleWhat to pay attention to when you’re tracking your cycleThe different dietary and nutritional approaches that will support your hormones and your periodHow you can have that “talk” with your daughter about sex and getting her periodWhat “simplicity” means and how you can create more simplicity in your life Key Takeaways:As women, in terms of our cycle, we have four very distinct phases that we are moving through on a week-to-week, month-to-month, and day-to-day basis.MenstruationThe follicular phaseThe ovulatory phaseThe luteal phaseThe rhythms of our internal cycle as women predicate a lot of the shifts in how we feel.Tapping into the four phases of the moon is a cool way to learn more about yourself and your body.Most women typically cycle with the new moon, where they get their menstrual cycle during the new moon.During the new moon time, your energy will be lower. It’s typically not the best time to be doing a lot of group-based exercises.The waxing phase of the moon is that period when you’re moving more into your follicular phase. It’s a great time to set new intentions and to honor your desire to move more.The full moon phase is when we tend to feel bolder, more confident, passionate, and excited. This is the time where a lot of women are ovulating and historically, the time when most babies are conceived and born.The waning moon is the longest period in the moon cycle, which is symbolic of the luteal phase. This is when your energy starts to lower down and you start to feel that call to slow things down.One of the biggest lies we’ve been told about our cycles is that it’s going to be the same forever until you no longer have it. If your cycle comes early or it comes really late, you need to reflect on the past months and see how well you’ve been taking care of yourself.Stabilizing your blood sugar is so critical when it comes to your health overall. Regardless of what your goal is, when you’re working with a great holistic practitioner, the top two priorities they’re going to have for you are to make sure your digestion is working really well and that your blood sugar is stable.  Action Steps:Have awareness of your cycle by connecting the differences in how you feel to your hormonal rhythms.During the new moon time, slow down and take a rest. Nourish yourself and pay special attention to self-care. Do things that are more restorative and calming to your nervous system like yoga and walking.Listen to your body intuitively, especially during the waxing phase of the moon.Track your cycle.Don’t skip out on your regular Pap smears. Jenn said:“One of my big wishes is that part of a woman’s journey in her body is that she would actually be able to also work with a pelvic floor physiotherapist… to learn the landscape of her body.”“Simplicity is not about things being simple… Simplicity is that we are moving through life and through these different elements of our body and our health, but our approach is not rigid.” Thanks for listening!Important Announcements:If you’re an essential oil newbie and you’d like to get started ordering either an oil kit or want to try some oils, reach out to me at [email protected] with me over on Instagram, @holisticwellnessfoodie.

What is the one test that could save your life? In this quickie episode, I talk about a really important test that we run in our practice, which is the test for CRP (C-reactive protein) levels. Find out what level you should be at, and what lifestyle changes you can incorporate when your CRP levels are high.You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode78 Topics Discussed in this Episode:What is CRP (C-reactive protein) Why it’s important to know your CRP levelsHow your weight impacts your CRP levelsWhat CRP level you should be atWhat you can do to lower your CRP levelsKey Takeaways:CRP (C-reactive protein) is a marker of inflammation in the body, so high CRP levels are found in every known inflammatory state. It’s manufactured throughout the body and found in immune cells, the liver, and fat cells.When your CRP is chronically elevated, this is what can contribute to destructive chronic inflammation.Even if you have no symptoms of a disease, elevated CRP levels may signal an increased risk for all degenerative disorders. A study has shown that women with the highest CRP levels had a 16-fold risk for developing diabetes.CRP is linked with a lot of cardiovascular-related conditions.Most individuals who are overweight tend to produce more inflammatory compounds, which leads to higher levels of CRP and increases your risk of developing a disease.Omega-3 fish oils can lower your chances of getting a heart attack by 50%.Action Steps:Test for your CRP levels and know what your level should be atWhat to do to lower your CRP levels:Exercise.Change your diet.Take supplements and probiotics.Use essential oils. Samantha said:“If you do the CRP test and you notice that it’s high, you can take the right steps to lower it.

Everybody’s journey is different and what one woman experiences is going to be different from yours or how their treatment went will be different from yours.”“More than anything, what I want for women is to just eat ridiculously healthy, good food and food that’s going to support their health and their hormones and their vitality and allow them to live a more powerful, happy, joyful life.” Thanks for listening! Important Announcements:My podcast has been nominated for Podcast of the Year!!!

What are the Hormonal Charlie’s Angels? Listen in to one of my Facebook Live recordings, find out more about your hormones, and learn to connect the dots when it comes to your health.You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode75. Topics Discussed in this Episode:My hormonal health storyThe hormonal Charlie’s Angels: cortisol, estrogen, and thyroidWhat happens when these three hormones are out of balance versus when they’re in balanceSome simple strategies that you can do to support these hormonesKey Takeaways:Whether you’re fired up from work with your to-do list or fired up from running from a tiger, they’re the same stress to your body and it’s going to take a toll on your immune system.If you had caught some kind of viral infection, bacterial infection, or parasite infection in the past, if you haven’t been able to heal them appropriately, they can start to show up in your later years.Cortisol is a very smart, no-nonsense, strategic-thinking hormone. It’s alert in your nervous system to threats. If you are experiencing weight gain, cortisol and insulin are the two hormones you want to look at as both are fat-storing hormones.When you are constantly stressed, the communication between your brain and your adrenals is impaired, that’s why you experience adrenal burnout.A dysregulated cortisol could lead to diabetes, metabolic syndrome, depression, low sex drive, low thyroid, fatigue and exhaustion, irregular and heavy periods, autoimmune conditions, infertility and PCOS, and accelerated aging.Your thyroid is what controls your metabolism.When you have dysregulated thyroid, you’re going to feel sluggish, run-down, and tired. You’re going to experience infrequent bowel movement, and you might be constipated. You might also experience unexplained weight gain, depression, feeling inflamed, excessive menstrual bleeding, and excessive hair loss.Your estrogen is so important because it helps to produce your serotonin.When your estrogen is out of balance, you might experience very low libido, very dry skin, increased hunger, a lack of ovulation, a heavy period, more breast tenderness around your cycle, fibroids and cysts, more PMS symptoms, more brain fog, and PCOS.Action Steps:Connect the dots with your health. Look back to your health history and see all these different areas where things could have gone wrong and started to impact your health.Manage your cortisol, estrogen, and thyroid, as well as your insulin and blood sugar.Implement these strategies to support your hormones:Pay attention to your nutrition and eat an anti-inflammatory whole foods diet.Create a healthy routine around sleep.Make sure you stay hydrated all the time.Move and sweat.Try acupuncture.Avoid endocrine disruptors.Supplement with Vitamin C. Samantha said:“Your body can’t differentiate between a to-do list that’s super long or running from a lion in the jungle. It’s all a stressor to your body.”“Weight loss isn’t a linear process. Your health in general... it’s about taking the baby steps every single day.” Thanks for listening!Important Announcements:We’d love to have you in our 8-Week Metabolic Reset Weight Loss Program!
