About Mishaps, Magic, & Mayhem: “I’ve tried it so you can benefit.”
Where do we begin? We want women to Show up, Show off, and share their story and the truth (the whole truth) about how they got to where they are, what happened along the way, and what they learned on the journey that just might give some insight to another women seeking the same.
Our aim is to provide a space to be heard, using our collective voices to make impact in the world.
Grab a friend and get ready cause’ these waves of women are diving in deep, sometimes headfirst, and making Big Waves along the way.

Ep 147 | LIVE A MANA LIFE with Dr. Elizabeth Wanek
MEET ELIZABETH
Prior to studying for surgical boards around 40 years of age, I thought nutrition and basic science were something that only applied to my patients. However, as I made the connection between food and my biochemistry, I became profoundly aware that what and how I was eating had a major impact on how I functioned: emotionally mentally, physically and spiritually. When I ate according to the principles of biochemistry, I felt completely different, no longer struggling with continuous cravings, yo-yo dieting, fatigue, frustration and, at times, complete anguish and despair. This experience led from the private practice of Pediatric Surgery to a consultative practice in Functional Medicine, with a focus on teaching patients how to stabilize blood sugar and meet needs for essential nutrient by balancing protein, carbohydrate and fats calories at each meal and/or snack. In addition, I recommended a daily intake of equal amounts of Omega 3 and Omega 6 polyunsaturated fats (which human cells cannot produce) to supply the raw materials needed to construct and maintain a properly functioning cell membrane (Phospholipid bilayer in the figure below) and to supplement with the 8 simple sugars needed by the cell to construct receptor sites on the cell membrane (Glycoprotein in the figure below) which are used to call for and receive the nutrients required for proper cell function. With Functional Medicine, I went from the anatomy I could see as a surgeon to the anatomy of a cell, visible only with a microscope.
