For those of us who deal with digestion issues like heartburn, indigestion, bloating, constipation, autoimmunity, and nutrient deficiencies make sure to stay tuned to this episode for a breathwork activity that you can do prior to eating.  Sometimes our digestive issues can arise when our bodies are not ready to receive food, and so this breathing exercise will help to support your body and digestive organs. I'd love to hear from you - let me know if this exercise helps you and what you normally do to support your digestion.

Breathwork to Support Digestion

In this episode we'll be talking about giving ourselves permission to rest, why we have so much resistance to resting, and how it can actually feel really scary to just slow down. Rest doesn’t necessarily have to mean taking a day or week off but instead is something that we can simply build into small moments in our daily lives. I also share common beliefs that tend to hinder many of us from finding rest and accepting that we actually deserve to rest. This is one of the most important pillars of healing that I do in my work with my clients and a big way we start to create a life that feels healing, where our interventions can take root.

How to Create a Life That Feels Healing

I've been working with clients for years to support their immune systems and live well with chronic illness and autoimmunity. With every single person, we work through the pillars of autoimmune health. This journey can feel confusing and overwhelming so that’s why it’s really important to seek out help and work in a framework that can be personalized to your specific needs.  As opposed to saying, "Here's a list of foods you can and can't eat, see you back in a few months!", I take a much more comprehensive approach because when it comes to chronic health issues it's the only way to get sustainable results rather than to keep chasing quick fixes. Together we go through, step by step, looking through this lens, to support your unique body to find its path to health.⁠ I’ve received so many messages about this topic, and so I decided to dedicate an entire podcast episode about it. Tune into this episode to learn more about these 3 pillars of autoimmune health.

The 3 Pillars of Autoimmune Health

In today’s episode, we talk about habits: creating new habits and how to actually make them stick. I hear from so many people that they generally know what they should do, it’s just that they’re not doing it. This is not because you are a failure or due to a pure lack of motivation (although that’s often the messaging we receive). It’s because behavior change is a skill that needs to be developed! Especially if you’re feeling stuck putting things into practice and taking action, I’ll share more about how to uncover your personal blocks and how you can learn the skills and tools you need to successfully change and transform. Tune in to learn more and see how you can get started.

On any healing journey, there are going to be ups and downs. Symptoms, bad days, and flare ups are to be expected. So I'm sharing a mini pep talk for when you’re having a bad symptom day. I find that sometimes we just need a reframe. We just need that support, and a little bit of perspective. I wanted you to have this in your back pocket so that anytime you're having a bad symptom day or experiencing a flare up, you can pull it out, give it a listen, know that you're supported, and remember that this too shall pass.

Getting to the “root cause” of autoimmunity with Kara of Life Hub Center

The processes of digestion—or the breakdown, absorption and assimilation of the food that we eat—is a vitally important piece of the puzzle that determines what nutrients we actually receive from our food and how our body uses those nutrients as fuel. No matter what symptoms we are experiencing, we could all use some help optimizing our digestive functioning, because it has such a big impact on our overall health. Tune in to learn why healthy digestion is so critically important (especially if you have an autoimmune disease) and 5 simple ways to boost your gut health!

What’s the first thing you do in the morning when you get out of bed? Hit snooze a few times, grab your phone, or jump straight into helping others? How do you feel when you wake up? Energized? Not fully rested? Stressed out even before the day has begun?  Most of us wake up and feel like we’re already behind. We may have emails to answer, kids to feed, and might not even feel rested from the night’s sleep!  I felt like this for years, until I intentionally created a morning routine to give me some buffer time at the beginning of my day. I started small, by taking five minutes in the morning to breathe and decide how I wanted to feel that day. I’ve since changed and grown my morning routine and I’d love to share it with you in today's podcast!

Kari Owens

Today on The Live Well Podcast I’m speaking with Kari Owens about ending negative self-talk and self-sabotage. You might be aware of an “inner critic” or that voice in your head that constantly chatters or maybe just shows up at inopportune moments with less than kind thoughts. That voice that tells you you aren’t enough, you aren’t worthy, or that you won’t succeed. Most of us have experienced this inner “voice,” but many do not realize the impact that this inner critic has on our overall sense of self and wellbeing. In this episode Kari speaks about the impact of this negative self talk, and what we can do to begin to shift our internal dialogue to better support ourselves.

On this episode of The Live Well Podcast, I have Audrey Sutton Mills joining me to speak about the collective fear and uncertainty that many of us might be facing in these times, and ways to connect back to ourselves.  Audrey believes we all have a light within us, but it gets covered up by life. Her purpose is to help you uncover your light and embody your worth that you are enough and you matter. I can think of no better person to speak into the big emotions that are coming up collectively right now, and how we can use simple tools to help bring us back to ourselves and find more calm and ease.

Montel Williams

Montel Williams was diagnosed with MS in 1999, but his disease had been undiagnosed for almost 20 years prior. Montel reflects back on his diagnosis as a mixed blessing, because it taught him the importance of willpower and advocating for yourself. He urges others diagnosed with MS not to let the disease define them, and to talk to their doctor about disease progression. Montel is an amazing advocate in the autoimmune and chronic illness community and I’m absolutely honored to speak with him! Join us as we speak about the importance of being your own advocate, the holistic approaches that most helped Montel heal, and his daily mindfulness practice that helps him stay positive and thrive with chronic illness!

Mickey Trescott

Today on the Live Well Podcast we’ll be speaking with Mickey Trescott about nutrient density and how we can use food to help our bodies heal! If you don’t know Mickey, she’s the co-founder of the Autoimmune Wellness blog. Her new cookbook, the Nutrient Dense Kitchen came out earlier this year and is an amazing resource for implementing a nutrient dense diet. When embarking on healing diets we focus a lot on what we can’t eat, but focusing on the nutrients we can receive and maximizing our nutritional intake makes a HUGE difference in the healing process. Mickey is a pioneer in this alternative approach to healing autoimmune disease and going beyond medicine and I’m so thrilled to have her here today sharing her knowledge!
