This episode is a milestone for the show because we have reached episode number 10! I appreciate each of you for being on this journey with me, and I'm also so grateful for the opportunity to chat with the guests that have so generously shared their time and knowledge with us over these first 10 episodes. Today's guest is Christa Biegler, who I met through our podcasting community, Power Up Podcasting, created by our mentor, and one of my favorite podcasters of all time, Pat Flynn. Christa and I immediately hit it off, when we noticed common interests in building health with food as medicine, geeking out on food intolerances and lab testing, and also, musings about the importance of mindset. Youll find in this interview, great examples of those amazing coincidences and synchronicities that show up in life. As Christa likes to say, there are no coincidences, and things often happen for a reason. In this interview, Christa also shares a bit about her health journey and how she started helping clients rebuild health, even through they were considered complex or incurable cases. Here's Christa's official bio: she is an integrative dietitian nutritionist that specializes in food sensitivities and reversing symptoms of IBS, migraines, fibromyalgia, and autoimmune issues. She loves tough cases, and is host of The Less Stressed Life podcast. Here's a fun fact: she coordinates the local unicycle club with her husband and 3 kiddos! Thanks for listening!

Are you being told to give your child medication for ADHD? Adam Johns, a future FDN Practitioner, shares his experience as a young child exposed to adderall for a diagnosis of ADHD, and how it ultimately served as a gateway to street drugs and the heavy use of pharmaceuticals purchased off the street. He then suffered serious and tragic losses in quick succession that spiraled him down a path of self-destruction with an escalation into the use of heroin. Beating the odds, Adam finds the support and motivation he needs to manage his drug addiction. He finds ways to replace his addiction to drugs with a lifestyle that involves being out in nature, skiing, and finding someone to love. He gets significantly uncomfortable to regain health, and find happiness again, when the doctors were convinced that Adam was a hopeless case. Now, Adam is on a mission to help others who are suffering, manage their condition and learn to thrive.
