In this podcast our member Bailey O'Brien shares her journey of being diagnosed with cancer and fighting a fight that at one time felt helpless. She shares how she overcame her diagnosis and fought cancer, not once, not twice, but 3X! And she shares what helped give her support along the way. Since joining us back in October 2022 Bailey is down almost 30 lbs. and feels more like herself than she has in almost a decade. She joined when she was at the heaviest weight in her life and now feels stronger, lighter, more mentally alert, higher functioning, agile, free and more confident. Bailey is currently helping cancer patients, and those looking to prevent cancer, with health coaching. Click here to visit her website if you'd like to learn more, or to work with Bailey!

On this ep I bring back my naturopath Dr. Laura Futterman. After working with her as a patient for about a year and a half, we got to know each other over that time and it turns out we share a lot of the same values when it comes to lifestyle, and how we perceive living a healthy lifestyle! This sparked numerous conversations that ultimately birthed the idea to team up and do a group detox program together. In this episode we discuss our perspective on dieting. Why this detox is one of the best ones out there. How the group detox will be run (we'll be offering a TON of support for better overall success). And more! If you're interested in joining our group detox we're considering offering this in both the Spring/Summer and Fall. Please fill out this form so we know who to reach out to with more details including the structure of the detox (incling a pre-tox, and post-tox, workouts, group support, live Q + A's and MORE), pricing options and more!

In this episode we talk with Dr. Laura Futterman, ND of Stamford Center of Natural Health. Dr. Futterman shares with us her story and what lead her on the path of naturopathy, as well how she treats her patients to determine and heal the root causes of their health issues. We also talk about the most common health issues she has been treating lately, our ideology on fad diets, and applied kinesiology. Dr. Futterman was pivotal in my healing journey when I was experiencing chronic inflammation and fatigue. She was the only practitioner that was able to help me determine what I was experiencing and restore my body's homeostasis! Tune in for this super valuable conversation! You can find Dr. Futterman online at Stamford Center of Natural Health.
