Alex Bucko believes in the old saying “you are what you eat." After being diagnosed with Lupus at the age of 22, she found herself on a new path in life. While this was a scary and heartbreaking time, Alex found a sense of relief finally knowing why she had been sick for so many years, thus giving her a starting point for her healing to begin. But when the conventional treatments of western medicine did not work for Alex, she started searching elsewhere for the answer. Trying out a more holistic approach, Alex discovered that food could be her medicine. Alex Bucko is a nutritional therapist focusing on mediating the symptoms of chronic illness within her practice. She believes that a shift towards ancestral nutrition and lifestyle could help to lessen the prevalence of modern diseases that have become overly common today such as cancer, diabetes, and autoimmunity. Alex got her start in nutritional therapy after her own struggle with autoimmunity forced her to leave her first career and embark on her journey for self-healing. After being increasingly sick for over ten years, she had had enough. Alex was able to overcome her multiple autoimmune conditions without a long list of pharmaceuticals, and now sits comfortably in remission after making diet and lifestyle changes. Today Alex and I dig deep into the food we eat and its relationship to our health. We talk about getting back to the way we evolved to eat through seasonal and ancestral eating, the domestication of crops and the evolution of the food industry as a whole, and how our gut health is vitally connected to our overall health and wellbeing.

Gabrielle Ortega believes self care is more than the luxurious treatments of face masks and spa days. It includes your spiritual care, mental health, and setting boundaries.  Gabrielle is the Owner and Founder of OM Therapy Coaching, a conscious life coaching business that aims to help people decode their minds, heal from past wounds, discover their power, and break through to live their ideal lives. Formerly a trauma-oriented psychotherapist, Gabrielle integrates the Western sciences of Psychology and Neurobiology with ancient Eastern philosophies and practices, to create customized programs that focus on whole-person healing and wellness. Gabrielle is currently working on her doctorate in clinical psychology at Pacifica University, where she is studying the neurological effects of meditation on trauma survivors. She also sees 1:1 clients virtually from her home in Los Angeles, California. She has been featured on podcasts like "She Did It!" with Sydney Nanberg, and is a current featured speaker for the "Authentically You Leadership" show with Tia Christiansen. Gabrielle will also be launching her first 12-week group coaching program in January 2020, Rebirth, where she will be guiding small groups of women through their own self-awakening journeys! Gabrielle is considered one of the leaders of the new mental health paradigm, and looks forward to changing the way the world approaches emotional and mental wellness. Today, Gabrielle and I dig deep into how we can become the biggest, baddest version of ourselves, the self awareness it takes to get there, and the importance of being radically honest. We have to own how we are showing up in our life and take ownership of the ways in which we may contribute to both our pleasure and our pain. Let’s dig in.  Thank you so much for joining me today! I love Gabrielle’s reminder to have compassion and to forgive ourselves on our journey. We did the best we could with the knowledge and awareness that we had at the time of past events. Forgiveness and self awareness are where it is at.

Tiffany Cruikshank is a woman of many talents in the world of wellness. As a trouble maker in her early teens, she struggled to find purpose and meaning in her life. During that time, Tiffany discovered yoga and met an herbalist at a wilderness camp who would take her on plant walks, where she fell in love with learning how to use the environment around us to heal.   Tiffany is the founder of Yoga Medicine, a community of teachers focused on fusing anatomy & western medicine with traditional yoga practices to serve the medical communities. She’s trained thousands of teachers around the world, has graced the cover of over 15 magazines, is a regularly featured expert in many major media outlets, the author of 2 books and has over 150 classes on various topics on YogaGlo.com. With her background in Acupuncture, Sports Medicine and Women’s Health, Tiffany has worked with professional athletes & celebrities, run her own clinics, and created & ran the Acupuncture program at Nike WHQ in addition to teaching yoga there. Tiffany also founded & runs 2 nonprofits, one conducts research on yoga’s therapeutic benefits and the other supports a shelter for women rescued from trafficking in Delhi, India. Today Tiffany and I discuss Chinese Medicine, the idea of bringing the whole person into balance to allow the body to be more resilient, and how yoga can be a great tool for teens as well as adults to combat stress and support both our mental health and our hormones. Thank you so much for joining me today! I loved Tiffany’s suggestion to become the observer and to befriend our thoughts and judgments. By making peace with the layer of ourselves that judges everything, and empathizing with ourselves first, it makes it easier for us to empathize with the world around us.
