She is renowned for applying spiritual principles to health and fitness and creating safe spaces for women to recover self-worth and achieve sustainable health. In this episode of The Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause interviews Sue Markovitch on creating a fitness lifestyle that works for you.   Key Takeaways: 1. Rethinking Fitness: Feeling Good vs. Looking Good Sue challenges the traditional fitness narrative with her empowering perspective: “What if fitness was more about feeling good about yourself instead of feeling good about how you look?”* This reframing emphasizes self-acceptance and internal well-being over external validation. 2. The Damage of a Lifetime of Dieting The fitness and diet industry has perpetuated cycles of trauma for many women, leaving them feeling unsafe and inadequate. Breaking free starts with acknowledging these experiences and creating supportive environments for change. 3. The Role of Strength Training Strength training is incredibly empowering for women over 40. It builds both physical resilience and emotional confidence. However, consistency often eludes women, highlighting the need for deeper, personal work to uncover and address barriers. 4. Identifying the Deeper Work For women who know what to do but struggle to follow through, the key lies in exploring the inner obstacles that hold them back. Sue guides listeners to: Pay attention to the internal dialogue when attempting change. Recognize the "blinders" society has imposed regarding fitness expectations. Address self-sabotaging behaviors stemming from trauma or low self-worth. 5. Myths and Lies of the Fitness Industry Sue and Dr. Jannine Krause critique the common motivational tactics in fitness that often lead to guilt and burnout. True motivation comes from understanding one's unique needs and working with a compassionate, knowledgeable coach.   Highlights from the Conversation: Self-Worth Recovery: Sue's trauma-informed approach creates a safe, judgment-free space for women to reconnect with their self-worth.

It's about reclaiming your power, finding joy in movement, and embracing your worth—exactly as you are.

In today's episode of The Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause tackles the overwhelm of the wellness space. With constant conflicting advice, fear-based messaging, and a daily influx of new health information, how can you know what's right for you? Dr. Krause shares her insights on developing health intuition to guide your decisions based on your unique condition and needs. What You'll Learn in This Episode: The test sequence Dr. Krause uses to help clients identify the root cause of symptoms. How to determine which supplements or foods are best for your body. Why slowing down and asking yourself questions is essential for informed health choices. How to leverage intuition to create personalized wellness protocols. Key Highlights from the Episode: 1. Test Sequence to Identify Symptoms' Root Causes: Dr. Krause introduces a step-by-step method for discerning the source of your symptoms using muscle testing techniques: Muscle Testing (Finger Interlocking Method): Create a "chain link" by interlocking thumb and second fingers from each hand. Ask yes-or-no questions (e.g., "Is this related to a virus, bacteria, stress, etc.?"). If the chain link breaks apart, it's a “yes” or a match to your query; if it holds, it's a “no.” You can use this method to narrow down potential causes and identify next steps, like lab tests or treatments. 2. The Tilt Test for Supplements and Foods: Stand or sit with feet firmly planted. Hold the supplement, food, or product to your chest. Observe your body's reaction: Forward tilt: Your body accepts it. Backward tilt: Your body rejects it. No movement: Your body is neutral toward the item. 3. Intuition and Asking Questions: Take time to ask yourself clear yes-or-no questions about your symptoms, treatments, or next steps. Developing this skill allows you to bypass health noise and confidently focus on what aligns with your body's needs. Resources from the Show: Muscle Testing Techniques: Finger interlocking method. Arm-tapping alternative for strength testing. Tilt Testing: Simple at-home method to evaluate compatibility with supplements or foods. Collaborating with Practitioners: Naturopathic doctors and chiropractors trained in muscle testing can help you refine and validate your findings. Takeaway Message: The path to personalized wellness starts with slowing down, tuning into your body, and asking the right questions. By cultivating your health intuition, you can sift through the noise, trust your instincts, and make decisions that truly serve your unique health journey. For more insights, tune in to this episode of The Health Fix Podcast with Dr. Jannine Krause.

In this episode of The Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause interviews Sylvia Hall, a creative entrepreneur, founder of Lifted Naturals and Honeypot Publishing, and a co-founder of several joint ventures with her husband, Tim. Her health journey began with a personal battle with migraines and postpartum depression, which inspired her to create Lifted Naturals, a mood probiotic company designed for sensitive individuals like herself. Sylvia's mission extends beyond wellness—she aims to help others discover what truly lights them up and empowers them to embrace a life of peace and authenticity.   Key Takeaways from This Episode: Healing vs. Living: Sylvia shares her powerful mantra: Healing and living are two different things! Don't fall into the trap of endless healing. Step away from constant self-improvement and embrace living life now. Fear as a Low Frequency: Fear is prevalent in the wellness space but is a low-frequency state. Limiting exposure to fear-based health information can protect your peace and help you make better decisions. The Downfalls of the Wellness Space: The inundation of health advice often creates more stress than solutions. It's essential to validate your health journey and stop caring about external opinions.

Meet Laura Petkuanite, a leading practitioner in quantum medicine specializing in frequency-infused healing. She combines Western and Eastern approaches to address imbalances at the cellular level, focusing on the body's bioenergetic field through advanced electrodermal screening. Laura works with clients to create personalized remedies that reprogram cells and promote deep, lasting healing. Currently pursuing her PhD in Natural Medicine, she is also a sought-after speaker dedicated to making innovative health solutions accessible and actionable. Laura collaborates with Seth Jones, a previous podcast guest, to support clients dealing with Building-Related Illness. Her thought-provoking insight, "The more you know about health, the more you realize you don't know," highlights the depth and complexity of her work. In this episode of The Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause interviews Laura Petkuanite on how she's using quantum medicine to help clients with complicated health conditions.  Key Topics Covered: What is Quantum Medicine? Often misunderstood or overused as a term. Dives into the realm of physics to identify and address imbalances before they manifest in blood work. Operates in two realms of body physics: electrical emission and magnetic fields. Biophotons measure the body's light and magnetic health. Why Current Medical Approaches Fall Short: Medicine typically focuses on what is visible right now in blood or tissues. Supplements and medications often only mask symptoms rather than repair damaged cells. These approaches keep the body dependent on external fixes without addressing root causes. The Science of Frequency-Infused Healing: Changing the physics of cells (light and electrical signals) can promote quicker health improvements than supplement protocols. Laura's methods focus on determining what the cell needs to maintain its health. Electrodermal screening reveals disruptions in electrical and magnetic fields before chemical changes occur. The Role of Emotions in Health: Emotions cause shifts in the body's electrical and magnetic fields. To achieve lasting healing, it is essential to address changes in magnetism rather than just chemistry. Practical Insights: Why understanding cellular physics can revolutionize chronic condition management. How to leverage biophotons and electrodermal screening for early intervention. The importance of addressing energetic imbalances to achieve sustainable health. Resources from the Show: Connect with Laura on Instagram: @wholeyouLA Reach out via email: laura@wellpeoplehealing.com Closing Thoughts: Quantum medicine offers a paradigm shift in understanding and treating the body. By addressing the root causes of imbalance at the energetic level, Laura's work empowers individuals to achieve deep, lasting health.
