Talking about a variety of children and family health topics and suggestions on how to overcome struggles naturally with board certified Integrative Health Practitioner, Fraser Bridgeman.
Raising a special needs daughter for over 14 years and coming against continuous health challenges that no one seemed to have any answers to, Fraser dedicated herself to find the answers she needed to give her child relief from the pain of countless health struggles. This path set her on a spiral of years of research and a life long dedication to help others find answers and relief from their health issues using natural functional medicine and incorporating all aspects of integrative health including diet, exercise, detoxing heavy metals, stress management and quality sleep.
By using functional medicine at home lab testing and being dedicated to being a health detective to find the root cause or underlying imbalance in the body we can rediscover the healthiest versions of ourselves and children so that they can lead happy and fulfilling lives .
After a much needed break I stop in to chat vulnerably about why I took time off of recording and how I hope it empowers you to never stop searching for answers to getting well and helping those you love most get healthy also!! Please connect with me and book your free 30 minute personal conversation/consultation at www.fraserbridgeman.com.

The Benefits Of Reflexology
Today I had the wonderful chance to chat with Valrie Blair a reflexologsit who has been working at her craft for over 20 years.
I had the luxury of experiencing the amazing benefits of reflexology from both Valrie and her daughter over the last couple of years. I even had it tested out on my very sick daughter who was battling severe constipation and urine retention at the time. The therapeutic benefits could not be argued and the relaxation side effects were more praise worthy then massage therapy to my surprise.
I would highly suggest using reflexology as a regular tool with your children and for yourself if you treasure the body being imbalance and enjoy the soothing benefits that come with every session.
Now here is our interview!

The Hard Scoop On Poop- The Crux Of Constipation
Constipation can be a debilitating and painful problem that affects millions of people worldwide. Unfortunately so many people suffer needlessly when there are simple solutions to help keep you regular.
Constipation, if left untreated can result in many negative health problems becasue it is the storage of toxins in the body that are meant to be evacuated as quickly as possible.
If you or your child suffers from constipation do not accept this as ok. Making a minimum of at least one bowel movement a day lowers your risk for many diseases.
Learn the signs of constipation and how to avoid it all together by implementing some simple steps to your daily routine like ensuring your family is well hydrated with filtered water, that they consume enough fiber through unprocessed foods like fruit, vegetables with the skin left on and beans if tolerated.

010- Are Your Childs Symptoms Coming From Leaky Gut
We live in a time where scientists now recognize the vital importance of intestinal health, not just for the gastrointestinal health but also how it affects many aspects of the entire body. There is a strong link between poor gut health and how it negatively affects brain health. This strong gut-brain connection has gotten a lot of attention in recent years. "Leaky gut has become a common term that tries to explain intestinal permeability that was never meant to allow toxins back into the body. Reseach has now shown that this leaking of toxins that were meant to be elimated by bowel movements can wreak havoc on the body if it recirculates into the blood stream. Many symptoms can now be contributed to leaky gut theory by the inflammation the body produces to fight off these unwanted toxins. We now know that poor digestive problems are not the only problems someone will suffer if they do not take care of their intestinal health, other problmes range from depresion, anxiety and even auto immune disorders to name just some of the consequences to not taking care of your gut health. Tune in to how you can make sure your childs gut health stays in top shape so they don't have to suffer.
