I open up about my perspective on ADD and ADHD and challenge the idea that these labels define who we are. I truly believe that difficulty focusing is not a fixed identity or diagnosis, but something that can be influenced by various factors such as how aligned we are with our true selves and the fears that might be holding us back. I encourage you to take a moment to tune in and reflect—are you struggling with focus because you're out of sync with your purpose? Is fear perhaps playing a role in keeping you distracted? Remember, having difficulty focusing is not a disorder or a flaw. It's a gentle nudge from within, inviting you to explore and address the deeper emotions and beliefs that may be at play. I'm here with you on this journey, and together, we can start to see these challenges as opportunities for growth and healing.

"Maybe it's because we are not in alignment with who we are and how we were created."

"It's not because you have a disorder. It's because it is your cue to tune in, to check in."

Takeaways:

• Difficulty focusing is not a fixed identity but a cue to tune in and check if it is in alignment with one's purpose.
• Fear can hinder focus, and exploring and addressing underlying emotions and beliefs can help shift focus.
• Labeling oneself with a disorder can limit personal growth and self-discovery.
• Recognizing that difficulty focusing is not a flaw or a disorder can empower individuals to explore and address the root causes.

Join me as I open up about a journey that many of us might be on without even realizing it—a spiritual battle. I know how frustrating it can be when physical symptoms persist, even after seeing different practitioners to get to the root cause, making all the right lifestyle changes, and trying various supplements, medications, and protocols. I've been there myself. I walked through the paths of Western medicine, explored functional medicine, and dove deep into mindset work, only to discover that the root of my struggle was something much deeper—a spiritual battle. I share this part of my story with you because I believe it’s important for us to recognize when the challenges we face go beyond the physical. Sometimes, the answer lies in the spiritual realm. In this episode, I guide you through how to identify if you’re in a spiritual battle and provide the steps to fight it. We don’t have to fight this battle alone!

I open up about my personal experience of moving from the second to the third trimester of my pregnancy. It’s been a journey filled with both excitement and challenges, and I want to share some of those with you—like discovering the root cause of brain fog, fatigue, and shortness of breath. When I learned that my ferritin levels were low, it was a wake-up call to take a closer look at my health. It reminded me just how crucial it is to keep an eye on our nutrient levels. I also want to emphasize the importance of working with a functional medicine practitioner who sees you as a whole person and focuses on optimal health, not just what’s "normal" on a lab report. My hope is that by sharing my story, you’ll feel empowered to be an advocate for your own health. We're in this together, and I’m here to support you on your journey.

Takeaways:

• No matter how much we know and how much we try to control, things can still happen that are outside of our control.
• It is important to get nutrient levels checked during pregnancy (listen to learn which ones).
• Working with a functional medicine practitioner who looks at optimal levels can help ensure that you feel your best during pregnancy.
• Prioritizing your health and getting the support you need is crucial at every stage of life, whether you're trying to conceive, pregnant, or in postpartum.

Tune in as I share the transformative journey of a client who had been struggling with debilitating migraines for years. She had consulted with numerous doctors, but none were able to provide lasting relief. When we began working together, we uncovered that her migraines were deeply connected to gut health issues that had been overlooked. But it wasn’t just about the physical aspects. We also dove into the emotional and mental stressors that were exacerbating her condition. This story is a testament to the power of a holistic approach—one that embraces the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of well-being. Ultimately, it’s about reconnecting with love and finding balance. As you listen, I invite you to reflect on your own health journey. If you’re feeling stuck, know that there is hope and support available to help you on your path to healing.

Takeaways

• Migraines can be related to gut health and trigger foods.
• Healing involves addressing physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects.
• Stress and mindset issues can contribute to symptoms.
• Reconnecting with love and focusing on gratitude can support healing.
• Seeking support and guidance from a functional medicine practitioner can be beneficial.

"Healing is not only multifactorial, there's so many things that affect us physically, but it's also multidimensional."

"Healing is so much deeper, so much deeper."

"Love is a frequency of healing."

Join me as I share my insights on supplements and functional medicine. Being a Physician Assistant in Western Medicine and Functional medicine, I have discovered how functional medicine can sometimes mirror Western medicine with its protocols and specific supplements for various conditions. However, I don't believe our bodies were designed to rely heavily on supplements. To me, it's crucial to address the root cause of health issues and do the inner work—this means making necessary lifestyle changes and nurturing a connection with God. I also encourage you to be aware of the limitations of methods and protocols that fail to consider the person as a whole.

Takeaways:

• Functional medicine can sometimes resemble Western medicine with protocols and specific supplements recommended for different conditions.
• Relying heavily on supplements is not how our bodies were designed to function.
• Addressing the root cause of health issues and doing the inner work, including making lifestyle changes and connecting with God, is essential for true healing.
• Methods and protocols that do not take into account the individual as a whole may not provide optimal results.
• Supplements should be used as a supplement to doing the work, rather than as a long-term solution.

Let’s dive into the conversation about Ozempic and its rising popularity for weight loss. It is crucial to look beyond just the physical aspects of weight gain, which is often-overlooked, the mental, emotional, and spiritual factors that play a significant role—areas where Western medicine tends to fall short. I discuss the power of whole, nourishing foods in managing weight and explore how the relentless hustle culture is taking a toll on our health. I also share insights into the potential long-term effects of Ozempic and encourage you to return to the basics: eating well and addressing the deep-seated mental and emotional patterns that influence our health.

Takeaways

• Weight loss requires addressing the mental, emotional, and spiritual components of weight gain.
• Eating whole nourishing foods can help regulate appetite and support weight management.
• The hustle culture contributes to imbalances in our physical and mental health.
• Long-term effects of medications like Ozempic are still unknown, and it's important to consider lifestyle changes before relying on medication.
• Tuning in to our body's signals and addressing our thoughts, beliefs, and patterns around food is crucial for sustainable weight loss.
