Fearless Family Health

Being a veteran homeschooling mom I have been bombarded with questions about what it is like, how I do it, why I do and and how do my kids thrive? So this week I discuss why I think homeschooling may be the best choice for your family. I don’t pull any punches and tell it like I see it. School is unhealthy for kids in most cases. From social distancing, masks, toxic cleaners, stress and fear I think that for most kids would be better at home without the extra pressure. On this podcast I talk about what kids really need to thrive and be healthy and hope that you will make empowering decisions for your kids. not decisions based on fear. Need extra support? Join us on Facebook in our Fearless Family Health Community. Thinking of homeschooling and need help in confidence, clarity and community? I will be helping just a handful of families get off to a great start. Check out my website and Work With Dr. Cheryl for homeschool help!

So today is a short podcast just to bring you back to center. A podcast to remind you to lean into all the things we have always known and to step out of fear and into true health. I hope you enjoy!

We should all be aware of the adverse effects on our immediate health. It diminishes our immune system function, messes with our digestion, increases our blood pressure and cardiovascular disease and disrupts our hormones. But not everyone knows about the effects on the babies we carry. The long term effects that can last generations. This is called epigenetics. And the adverse, or positive, effects can carry on for multiple generations. In today’s podcast I talk about the epigenetic, generational, effects on our children and grandchildren and what you can do to make those lean in the positive direction. Even during stressful times.

The holidays are here and while they are a time of family gatherings and connection for some, it isn’t that way for some.

In this episode, Dr. Cheryl talks about the salutogenic model to health and how it differs from the pathogenic model. Salutogenesis is a model of health that focuses on health and optimal potential. The focus is not on the disease or dysfunction, which is the focus of the pathogenic model. Most of us grow up and are inundated with pathogenic model viewpoints. We are taught to fear so, SO, much and not trust in our amazing bodies. We have so much more control then we have ever been told. Dr. Cheryl gets into the difference in the two models and the paradigm shifts that come with a differing view. Join our Facebook community to discuss these health paradigms and see where you fit!

Fermented foods. What are they? Is is safe to eat or drink? How easy is it to make at home? Do I need a degree in microbiology? In today’s podcast with, Dr. Carolyn Griffin of My Cultured Life, we answer these questions and more. We dispel some myths and really explain what fermented foods are and why you want them as a regular addition to your diet. We also talk about how to heal your gut if you are having digestive or chronic health issues. And how to find someone to help you do it properly and safely. Hint: it’s not as simple as taking probiotics or adding fermented foods to your diet.Dr. Carolyn Griffin graduated from the Los Angeles College of Chiropractic and spent the past 20+ years serving patients with Chiropractic care. She loves helping patients see the macro-perspective on their overall health, not just the one area they want to improve. For her, Chiropractic is not just a job, it’s a lifestyle. Understanding the power a Chiropractic adjustment can have on the nervous system resulting in improved body function, along with becoming a Certified Fermentationist and using the healing power of fermented foods, has led her into the wonderful world of gut health and the brain-gut connection. As a result, she created My Cultured Life! My Cultured Life is a learning source to teach people how to make fermented foods and beverages on their own. This is where she shares what’s brewing in her kitchen and easy ways for you to do the same. Fermented foods and beverages are the best way to get your daily dose of a variety of healthy probiotics. With so many people suffering from chronic diseases, fermentation along with Chiropractic care may be the best combination to address the root cause of many of these gut-related conditions.Find more info, and recipes, for fermenting at My Cultured Life.And join in the discussion with our Fearless Family Health Community on Facebook!

It should be no secret that the mind and body are intricately connected to each other and to your overall health expression. How we view health, how we view ourselves and our power to heal, have a profound effect on how we interpret our world and live healthy, or not. Teaching our children how to be conscious of their thoughts and being conscious of how we parent makes a huge difference in their future. And for future generations. We will chat today with Andrea Nazarenko all about psychological health and how best to support families in a healthier future. Dr. Andrea Nazarenko, PhD is a research psychologist specializing in how communities and contexts shape children and bridging the gap between research and practice. Billions of dollars are spent in the US alone on new programs and services, but few are actually implemented in the real world - and even fewer actually help people. Dr. Andrea helps improve mental and physical health outcomes by supporting communities, schools, governmental agencies, hospitals, and other mental and physical healthcare facilities implement programs with quality. Prior to this work, Dr. Andrea specialized in the development of serious and violent youth offenders. She believes that a better future starts with building up the emotional and physical health of children, and is committed to this mission. Her and her husband (a pediatric and family chiropractor and functional medicine practitioner) co-founded Treehouse Living, an international movement of holistic parents (and grandparents!) dedicated to the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of children. Drs. Nazarenko are leaders in the area of gut health, recently publishing the #1 International Best Selling book, When Food Hurts and the Gut Happy Lifestyle system, which helps people restore health by addressing the root causes of chronic disease.

We all know it mammography is no fun. It hurts and it adds extra radiation to your body. Who wants that? More and more people are turning to thermography scans to detect health issues and breast cancer even earlier. And studies are showing that this is not only a solid alternative to health scans but a superior one. But there are still a lot of questions. What exactly is thermography detecting? How are the scans done? How are they interpreted? In today’s podcast we talk all about thermography. When and who can have scans done and when is the best time to get one for yourself. My guest is Erica Cody. She has been performing scans and having them interpreted for a few years now after her own experience with a health scare. This is her story: Why I chose Thermography, and what is that?My name is Erica Cody, I am a mother of 4 amazing kids and I live a very active life keeping up with those kids. In the spring of 2011 I was recovering from paralysis caused by Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) when I discovered lumps in my left breast. Panic set in. In my PTSD state of mind, the thought of dealing with another health crisis was horrifying.I knew that I did not want to go through a mammogram. While dealing with GBS, I had been exposed to an excessive amount of radiation due to the necessary tests needed during that life threating health crisis. I had come across an article, “Why Mammography is NOT an Effective Breast Cancer Screen” on mercola.com that truly substantiated my thoughts on too much radiation exposure. The article also enlightened me on thermography, digital infrared thermal imaging! Thermography is a non-radiation, non-invasive, painless breast screening tool that has the ability to detect the vein structure that cancer needs to develop to feed itself before it can become dense enough to be detected through a mammogram. Allowing developing pathology, cancer, to be treated in the curtail early stages leads to the opportunity for a much greater rate of survival. Sign me up!!After much searching, I found someone that offered a medical grade thermal scan. I had to drive quite a ways, but it was worth it. The breast scan did not take very long at all, less then 30 minutes! It was interesting to me that I had to turn 360 degrees while a series of images were taken. It was not just my breasts between two plates, so if I had pathology on my chest wall (this is just one of the many scenarios that a mammogram would not detect), it would be picked up in the thermal scan. I left feeling a peace of mind that day. Even though I did not have the results, I was taking action to find out what the odd lumps were and not just worrying about what they could be. After a few days I received my report via email. It was written by a medical doctor (MD) that specialized in thermal interpretation. The report indicated I had fibrocystic breasts due to getting older. I have an amazing doctor who once told me to be happy with getting older, the alternative is not so much fun!! I was happy at that moment to not be facing another health crisis.I remember thinking that it would be great to make thermography available closer to home. Although I had every intention to return to Mechanical Engineering when my youngest went of to school, I redirected my ambitions. Now my dream of making thermography more available in the “burbs” is a reality. I am happy to be here for those like-minded persons looking for radiation free solutions to help then navigate their personal health care choices. It makes me smile to know that I am helping empower people to be proactive with their own health journey.You can reach Erica for more questions or information at her clinic Northwest Healing Center.

What is intersex? What does it mean to be intersex? And what is it like raising an intersex child in a binary world? Today I chat with my dear friend, Kristina Turner, about their journey in loving and raising their intersex child, Ori. We talk about challenges and triumphs. We will talk about how common it really is to be intersex and how we can support this population and those who don’t fit into binary definitions of sex or gender.

Kristina also has training in ethics and non-violent communication. One of Kristina’s children is intersex and upon finding out this information, she did extensive research before meeting with doctors and being faced with major decisions. Kristina has been an advocate for her child’s bodily autonomy from the beginning and that has led her to be an activist for all intersex children and adults. Over the last couple years Kristina has worked on educating her community thru public speaking and formal presentations. Kristina and Ori (her child) have spoken to family practice residents at Swedish Medical Center; a group of local Midwives; a Parent advisory council and school superintendent. They have done interviews with Mic and NBC about intersex children’s human rights. In March of 2018 they even gave a TEDx talk at the Western Washington University in Bellingham Washington titled “Intersex is awesome!”.
