The experience of healing and transformation is the reason behind why I'm sharing my journey & others plus all kinds of how to's when it comes to transformation.
It has been a shocking, wild, and lovely ride and it's become a passion of mine to help others find and experience transformation FASTER than I did! Especially when it comes to mindset and gut health!
This podcast is for you if you're tired of being stuck in your weight loss and health goals, critical and negative thought loops and if you desire a way to not only like yourself but truly love yourself. You're going to learn to accept you as you are, create who you want to become and if you literally and figuratively have the guts to do it.
I am delighted that you are here.
We are talking about the courage, the guts, the strength to do the holiday season a little bit differently today. We're talking about, you know, having an indulgence here and there, but not throwing in the towel for the season.
These 5 tips apply to ANY holiday season, or any season of life that gets hectic and wild.
Throwing in the towel around October was me for so many years, and I'm here to encourage you not to be like me, not to be like the old me, and to find a little bit of balance in between there.
Let's indulge, but let's not just give up for the whole season, right?
Because you don't want to start over in January.
You want to continue on living a life that's centered around well -being, and centered around things that you're doing that are causing you to feel better on the inside that are showing up more and more often on the outside.
They're showing up in how you feel. They are showing up in how you look. They're showing up in how you present yourself. So don't give all that up during the holidays. Let's talk about how to maintain.
Planning & Prepping your nutrition
Balancing your food to work for you
Gut health support
Taking care of you - even when indulging
How to maintain hydration
Short & sweet, and hopefully helpful over the next few weeks as we approach the New Year!

5 Things You Didn't Know About Hydration

Thank you for tuning in.
Today we are online with one of my most favorite friends ever, Dr. Chris Stanley. Chris and I have both lived through severe autoimmune diseases and found healing and wellbeing through nutrition. Hydration is a key component for us both, we’d even consider it a ‘macro’ to count and understand if you’re serious about feeling good and having a body that works for you.
In his physical theraphy practice, Chris often recommends hydration protocols for post operative patients and individuals looking to increase mobility alike! Our level of hydration plays a role in so many fundamental processes in our bodies! Chris and I both listened to The Hydration Master Class by Shawn Stevenson and we incorporate a lot of what we learned in that fascinating deep dive! You can listen too - click here to check out the episode.
This was my first interview recording! It is different, and I’ll get the hang of it! I’ve waited way too long to share this because if it leads you to better hydration in any way, shape or form, the imperfect interview is just what’s needed at a time such as this!
Below are a few highlights of our discussion.
So first of all, let's talk about why we need water
- above and beyond reasons we know are obvious.
Water is important for the maintenance of your DNA
Water facilitates reactions in mitochondrai - we feel like we have energy based on their work
Blood is over 90% water - which transfers oxygen, nutrients, antibodies and waste removal - not just poop, but alsy lymph fluid. How well our lymphatic system is working is based on water. It's our cellular waste management system. If that lymph fluid is too thin, more junk can get stuck in the lymph fluid. If this doesn't flush well due to dehydration or lack of exercise, we start building up metabolic waste and toxins. And guess what that leads to? ALL KINDS OF ISSUES.
Water plays a role in digestion secretions and a lack of water will create chronic constipation
Our cerebral spinal fluid of the central nervous system - water is important here. The communication of the brain with the body - messed up without hydration
Synovial fluid of joints and discs are affected by water intake - so arthritic conditions are worsened with dehydration
Your body uses water as a pathway to transmit neurotransmitters throughout your entire body. Water is a communication path inside of us. It also helps the brain to communicate with all kinds of hormones as well.
Hydration also controls your temperature gauge
It is important to understand the power of water in our bodies.
Water creates function and its lack drives dysfunction. We have a deep and fun conversation around blood pressure and hydration in this episode! Understanding quality of the water we consume and the potential impact on our health is knowledge that is powerful. Know where to invest your money and why! What is really in that bottled water? What’s the difference in Aritisan, Purified, Distilled, Alkaline and tap water? What’s in our water that we should know about.
Be mindful of the water you drink, considering both the source and purification methods. Hydration is always the first choice. Understanding your choices around water is, quite frankly, priceless.

Empowering Your Past
"When you can see your past as a treasure chest of learning opportunities rather than a dumpster full of regrets, your whole life changes." Dr. Benjamin Hardy
Reframing your past can unlock your potential and create a more positive and empowered future.
What is Reframe?
Reframing is defined as a psychological technique that changes how individuals perceive and interpret events, situations, or experiences. It involves looking at situations from different perspectives, leading to a shift in emotional responses and behaviors. A personal story is shared about a journey to reframe the past, particularly dealing with the sudden death of a loved one at a young age and initially avoiding facing that past. The turning point was recognizing a similar emotion in someone else, leading to a change in perspective and the ability to reframe the past.
Reframing improves the present: Reframing the past can lead to an improvement in the present. Viewing experiences from a less distressing or more empowering interpretation can bring peace and result in different outcomes.
Emotional Regulation: Reframing is essential for emotional intelligence, particularly emotional regulation. It allows individuals to control their emotions, thoughts, actions, and results. Getting curious about reframing process is essential. Utilizing powerful questions like "What is true in this situation?" and "How can this serve any purpose in my life?" can help us see an event in the past through a different lens.
Problem Solving: Reframing is a valuable tool for problem-solving. It allows individuals to see challenges as opportunities for growth and learning rather than roadblocks. It is emphasized that challenges and setbacks are part of the journey, and reframing helps find a way around them.
Do You Have the Guts to Reframe Your Past?
If you can add reframing to your arsenal of healthy habits, you will see an incredible difference in how you feel, AND in your results. I promise the endeavor you are pursuing does not matter. A mastery of your past and the ability to reframe will offer you different feelings and emotions, and we are all acting from feeling and emotions every single day. Results are different when we FEEL differently. And that all begins with our thinking.
