For entrepreneurs, running fast and charging hard comes with the territory. But that could be doing nothing but running us into the ground.   A lot of the things we think are “normal” parts of building and running businesses are actually signs of burnout. So many of us are stuck in that “wired and tired” mode and we don't even know that we're well over the limits of our health.   We can only live in a state of chronic stress for so long before it turns into trauma and whirlpool of health issues. You can't create something magnificent from a place of anxiety, stress and hurriedness. If we want to build sustainable business and come up with great ideas, we have to protect our flow state.   That means putting balance at the forefront of every decision we make. What are those early indicators of burnout and what small steps can we take to make things better?   In this episode, I'm joined by clinical and holistic nutritionist, entrepreneur and TV host, Christa Orecchio. She talks about steps we can take to run ourselves like fine-tuned machines.   Topics Covered -How to prevent burnout  -A few easy actions to offset your body's stress response -What burnout does to your body  -Christa's experience selling 30% of her company to a private equity firm    Guest Bio   Christa Orecchio is a clinical and holistic nutritionist, entrepreneur and TV host. She is dedicated to helping individuals use food, soil and self-awareness as medicine so that they can heal from the root cause. Since 2005, Christa's passion has been helping people live optimally, with a focus on the role nutrition plays in overall wellbeing. In the last five years she's truly understood how childhood trauma, limiting beliefs, unhealthy mental emotional patterning and societal conditioning can be a primary root cause for myriad of health issues (because safety starts in the nervous system) and she is grateful to have been on that path myself so that she can now support others on theirs.   Christa founded and ran The Whole Journey for 18 years which started as a private practice working with over 1000 clients, then evolved into a digital online program and supplement company for the last decade, serving over 16,000 customers to heal their gut microbiome and rejuvenate their immune system, overcome systemic candida, mold, and metals, replenish their thyroid and recode their adrenals and nervous system while creating emotional mastery.   Go to https://www.christaorecchio.com/ to learn more.

What Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) is and why it's just being introduced now to the general public. Josh C's background and what lead him to study metabolic health and CGM. The positive impact CGM is making for the diabetic community but also well beyond that for everyone else. CES FitTech Summit Why CGM is one of the only biohacks that can really move the needle for people. The history of CGM, what it is, and how it can greatly impact our health decisions. Ongoing developments and how CGM is getting to the point where it makes sense to use it as a biowearable. Why metabolism is actually a broad spectrum that impacts our lifestyle.   [9:20] Metabolic Dysfunction & COVID19 Correlations How Levels is being designed to help people make instant, small decisions about their health each day for greater wellness. Breaking down what actually happens to the body when we eat and the body uses food as fuel. How insulin resistance is built up leading to metabolic dysfunction throughout the US at a current rate of 70%. The very strong correlations between aggressive cases of COVID19 and metabolic dysfunction. Why we should be taking metabolism and metabolic dysfunction very seriously right now with so many unhealthy people in the US. The fact that 70% of pre-diabetic and diabetic cases are estimated to be chronic lifestyle-related and thus entirely preventable. Why the more data that people have available to them about their body, the greater their mindfulness about health will be. Charles Duhigg 206 Dan Pardi   [18:00] Effective Behavior Change Through Levels How Levels is helping people achieve greater behavior change compared to other models. 103 Robb Wolf How Josh C. and his team designed Levels to include non-diabetic people and what uses it has for the general public.

Their new project to help practitioners develop a very personalized coaching approach with metabolic fitness for their patients. Why emotion has to be attached to action or data to actually move somebody forward in their wellness journey. M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community   Power Quotes From The Show   Developing Your Metabolic Fitness "We're developing a 28-day program which gives people a metabolic awareness and guides them along the process of closing the loop between the actions they're taking and the reactions their body is experiencing using the Continuous Glucose Monitor. This experience is intended to connect us with our own metabolisms and develop that metabolic awareness intuition to point us in the right direction for metabolic fitness. Just like physical fitness, in order for us to become metabolically healthy, we have to think of it in the same way where we're putting in focus, repetition, and effort to achieve our goals." - Josh Clemente     Real-Time Diet Advice "We have had data in our understanding of metabolism for a long time but the problem is it's been population set data. The data is just averaged and all of the information and advice we get is based on the average of a group of people who were studied at some point in the distant future or past. That data doesn't have any connection to you. Now, when you wear your Levels CGM device and you eat a meal, you can see your body telling you something; it's almost like an emotional experience." - Josh Clemente     Why Setbacks Are Meaningful Life Lessons   "It's easy when you're younger to just assume that you know it all or life is going well so you must have it figured out but it takes a series of setbacks to really be able to reflect on life in a meaningful way. With that being said, setbacks are the most important thing in life because they're lessons learned. Over time and through experience, we start to develop wisdom and context for different things. To me, that is the spiritual component in the wellness journey." - Josh Clemente     Links From Today's Show  Sign up for early access to Levels Health Creating an Optimal Diet by Tracking Glucose The Levels Blog Organifi CES FitTech Summit Charles Duhigg 206 Dan Pardi 103 Robb Wolf .

So what we have to do is we have to get out of this chaotic whirlpool.” (19:51) “Science is objective, but we need the subjective because we don't treat the lab work, we are treating the person.” (30:33) “You are going to be in this human body for the rest of your life, if you can really get to know yourself on a mind-body-emotional level, then you will have the tools to keep yourself in balance.” (31:49)   Resources Mentioned: Take the Tag Disorder Quiz Here Free Adrenal ReCode Mini-Course The Whole Journey Website Follow Christa on Facebook | Instagram | Pinterest | YouTube EY 120: Dr. Carrie Jones EY 154: Optimizing Liver Function to Balance Your Hormones EY 161: Magdalena Wszelaki   Other Resources: Check out the full show notes page Keep up with everything Dr. Mariza Follow Dr. Mariza on Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | Youtube

(54:40) 311 Mark Wolynn How he would describe what 'source' is to someone who has a very analytical mind. 073 Kute Blackson M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community     The Creation of Endogenous DMT Through Breath "When endogenous DMT, which is naturally produced within the human brain, is upregulated, it also induces neuroplastic properties which allow us to change our neural pathways that then allows us to change our perception and perception is everything. It changes our way of thinking, changes our perception, and changes our life. Anything along the lines of natural tools such as breathwork, meditation, or sound that create endogenous DMT is always going to be in the right direction." - John Chavez         Cleansing The Brain Through Breathwork "From what I've seen, the quickest way to get in an altered state is breathwork. It's faster than hypnosis or meditation. Deep breathing also correlates with the cleansing of the brain. It's like DMT acts as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory; so, producing these sorts of chemicals would seem to be optimal for the brain. There's enough evidence to show that endogenous DMT produced by proper breathwork creates more optimized fluid dynamics in the brain and thus allowing us to kind of clear out debris; not only when we sleep but also when we're awake too." - John Chavez       Unpacking What 'Source' Is "We have the idea that we're disconnected from everything but there is a source, something powering everything on this earth. 'Source' is like the Sun; without it, everything on this plant will die. Whether directly or indirectly, we need it because it's the driving foundation of life." - John Chavez     Links From Today's Show 308 Dr. Edith Ubuntu Chan Cured Nutrition 300 Special Edition: Top Lessons Learned From 300+ Shows 299 Christa Orecchio 249 Niraj Naik The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho DMT: The Spirit Molecule by Rick Strassman Joe Rogan Podcast DMT: The Spirit Molecule (2010) Rick Strassman ‘Mystical’ Psychedelic Compound Found in Normal Brains Vipassana Meditation – A Spartan Race For The Mind Wim Hof 305 Anthony DiClementi Rythmia 196 Aubrey Marcus 275 Paul Chek Nick McLaughlin of Stationary Astronaut Gabor Mate Terence McKenna PlantMedicine.org Plant Medicine Podcast 247 Dr. Lynn Marie Morski 290 Dan Brulé 241 Dr. Dan Engle 325 Dr. Josh Flowers & Dr. Dan Engle Revive Treatment Centers of America Alan Watts 199 Peter Crone Dr. Joe Dispenza 311 Mark Wolynn 073 Kute Blackson M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Questions For The Lion Tamer Part 1  Questions For The Lion Tamer part 2 John Chavez DMT Quest Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube   About John Chavez John Chavez believes that communication of mystical and supernormal experiences is just as important as the scientific exploration of these occurrences. There needs to be a bridge between scientific results and the ability of the general public to understand these results in a straightforward manner. In this digital age of media, he believes that a widely distributed ongoing docuseries can provide a tool to accomplish this goal. After having operated as an independent researcher for 5 years and having written 2 books titled “Questions for the Lion Tamer: Delving into the Mystery that is DMT” and “Questions for the Lion Tamer 2: Swimming in Electric Endohuasca”, he believes that it is now time to take everything to the next level. DMT Research This entire field of research has been lagging tremendously since the 1970’s financially speaking. It is embarrassing that with an annual budget of over $39 billion dollars that the NIH still refuses to allocate any amount to endogenous DMT research. One would figure that if the NIH can spend $3.2 million studying the effects of alcohol in monkeys, it can surely spend the same amount on a field that the general public is extremely interested in such as endogenous DMT. In any case, it’s been estimated that there are nearly 2,500 billionaires in the world and likely over 50,000 hundred millionaires (people with $100,000,000 or more). There is enough private funding out there collecting dust that could change this endogenous DMT research industry in a very short time frame.     About DMT Quest DMT Quest is a 501c3 non-profit organization that is focused on raising money and awareness for endogenous DMT research. This organization operates under a strict 100% transparency code in which all fundraising generated by DMT Quest will be publicly disclosed on our website and any expenses/allocations will be publicly posted as well (in a straightforward manner). This company was created in order to solve the problem of a lack of funding for endogenous DMT research. While a psychedelic renaissance of sorts is taking place currently (2019) in which companies such as MAPS have raised upwards of nearly $50 million for exogenous psychedelic studies, the endogenous research capital has been minimal at best. Based on internet statistics, the general public appears extremely interested in the discussion and results of endogenous DMT studies. DMT Quest's Mission Our mission is to create a brand that can assist in driving research funds into this specific field in order to satisfy the demands of the public and develop a greater understanding of human biology and potential.

The Whole Journey #SANE with Christa Orecchio & Jonathan Bailor

A few weeks ago on Instagram I made a lot of our followers angry. I posted about a program called The Adrenal Recode designed for people suffering from HPA axis (adrenal) issues or nervous system balance that can sometimes be experienced by keto dieters. Many of our keto followers were offended by the suggestion that keto is “dangerous,” but as you’ll learn in today’s INCREDIBLE podcast with clinical nutritionist Christa Orecchio and keto expert, Leanne Vogel of Healthful Pursuit, some people just don’t do well with keto. Now I’ll be the first to admit, I LOVE the keto diet. It’s worked well for me (I cycle in an out a few times each year) and the benefits for those who want to lose weight, reduce cravings and maybe even prevent or reverse diseases like epilepsy, certain cancers, mental health issues and maybe even Alzheimer’s and cancer are undeniable. BUT, that doesn’t mean it’s for everyone, all the time. So if you want to learn… Whether keto would be beneficial for you The one mistake many women make when trying keto How to tell when keto is not working (without expensive testing) The one thing you MUST do to maintain health long term The population that seems particularly vulnerable to nervous system imbalance How to know you should stop listening to a “nutrition expert” And how to strategically re-introduce whole food carbohydrates into your diet without weight gain and fatigue, THIS is the show for you. It is easily one of my favorite podcasts ever and I know you will feel empowered by what these two wonderful and knowledgeable women have to share. Don’t forget to share this podcast or tag a friend who may need a little keto clarity.

The Adrenal Recode helps you focus on how you move, breathe, think, and what you do during the day. It is giving people the most powerful yet clinical, intuitive, nutrition possible because it allows you to peer inside yourself and recognize how you feel and how your body responds when you do or don't have what you need for yourself.  - Christa Orecchio How can you outsmart stress with food?

The moment she felt called to help people live a healthier life through whole nutrition. Our two different branches of the nervous system: sympathetic and parasympathetic and why we should live from the parasympathetic. Why she believes that all disease begins in the nervous system and not the gut. How having a strong nervous system can help us prevent future disease and heal quickly. Emotional re-patterning for greater, whole health to be prepared for future stressors. Insomnia, anxiety, and exhaustion issues that can really impact every aspect of your life and relationships. Fact that millennials and younger generations are growing up with many more toxins than older generations did. The mix of people who come to her and join The Adrenal Recode program with different backgrounds, genders, and ages. How long it takes young mothers to recover their full adrenal energy after giving birth. Healing From Our Health Debt The "health debt" we collect when we're in our 20s and 30s by not treating ourselves with the most loving care. Hangry vs. Hungry and how to identify natural hunger cues from the body instead of letting our emotions lead us. A lot of the negative thoughts and feelings we hold onto aren't really ours; they're just guideposts. How to begin to see the world for what it actually is rather than solely through our own belief systems. The old belief systems she lived her life by including needing to be the one in charge and be a people pleaser. What The Right Person Accountability is and how it can help you live a life of integrity. Power for self-forgiveness and why we have such a hard time with forgiving ourselves compared to forgiving other people. The Free Yourself Forgiveness Process to help you become self-aware of everyone you need to forgive and then what you need to forgive yourself for.

If we look at and address the functional medicine triangle paradigm which includes the gut, thyroid, and adrenals, we will see a massive improvement in all aspects of our health." - Christa Orecchio   21st-Century Stress Diseases "Collectively, we are in this 21st-century stress disease of chronic overwhelm and burn out. We're living off of stress hormones and we can't keep going the way we're going now. We have to break down to break through and that's the only way out. We can't medicate it anymore, try to supplement it away, take a yoga class, or just read a book. With the right guidance and support, we can make the process simple and do the actual hard work." - Christa Orecchio   Emotional Mastery For A Strong Body "Maintaining a strong nervous system is really everything and you can't just approach it physiologically. We have to learn how to emotionally re-pattern because life's going to do what life's going to do to all of us. So, the next time you experience a stressful moment, you have to have some kind of emotional mastery that allows you to respond instead of react to it. If you're constantly reacting, then you're going to drive the physiological process and then the clinical aspect of this work becomes a band-aid." - Christa Orecchio   The Trick To Real-Time Health Feedback "Lab tests are great but they only give you a snapshot in time but it's not the same as instant feedback. Taking your temperature and pulse is easy, free, and provides real-time feedback as to whether your adrenals and thyroid are able to regulate your blood sugar and it's an accurate reflection of available T3 inside of the cells." - Christa Orecchio     Links From Today's Show Organifi Byron Katie 295 Sandra Biskind Wallace Wattles Napoleon Hill Joe Dispenza Bruce Lipton The Belief of Biology by Bruce Lipton Tony Robbins Results Coaching 213 Bonnie Kelly The Stress-Weight Connection: Cortisol and Your Metabolism 11 Ways To Heal And Nourish The Nervous System 2019 Gut Health Report: The Latest Scientific Research And Discoveries (In Layman's Terms) The Whole Journey Cookbook: 180 Delicious Ways to Use Food as Medicine by Christa Orecchio How to Conceive Naturally: And Have a Healthy Pregnancy after 30 The Adrenal Recode Christa Orecchio Twitter LinkedIn The Whole Journey Facebook Instagram Pinterest YouTube   About Christa Orecchio Christa Orecchio is a clinical and holistic nutritionist dedicated to helping individuals use food as medicine to heal from the root cause.

112 | Christa Orecchio Shares How You Can Eliminate Entrepreneurial PTSD Do you ever feel like you have PTSD and trauma from your entrepreneurial journey? Christa Orecchio, founder of The Whole Journey is a clinical and holistic nutritionist with a passion for helping as many people as possible to heal and achieve vibrant health. Christa combines her holistic and scientific knowledge to help people heal from the root cause using food as their medicine with a mind, body, spirit approach to wholeness. She has 10 years of private practice experience, is a local and national health TV show host, bestselling author of How to Conceive Naturally and the creator of three revolutionary online health programs to help people recover their digestive, hormone, and emotional health. She served over 1,000 private clients and 20,000 customers online. How do you recover from the stress of being a full-time entrepreneur? Sometimes, we go through so much stress with this 24/7 sales career that it feels like we have PTSD. For many of us, it’s all about finding those “stress triggers” and proactively taking care of them before they cause damaging stress.  I’m almost two years into this business, and I’ve found that for me, having systems in place helps everything run smoothly, and avoids that stress and burnout before it even starts. My team uses Dropbox and GDrive - Google Drive - and that keeps us organized. Internal processes, whether you’re a one-entrepreneur show, or have a team that helps you get everything done, helps control the overwhelm. Everyone of my team of five members can access anything that they need. Even The Pitch Queen interns are taken care of! There are so many targets of stress that we don’t have control of, like our investors, or how a product launch goes, or if someone says YES or NO! However, there are some things that we can control, and these help us to stop those stress triggers before they start! This week’s guest on Success Unfiltered, Christa Orecchio, launched her gut health program, expecting only a few hundred to join. When thousands of people tried to join, her problems began. Are you ready to see how organization and handling what you can control helps lead to a more peaceful and less-stressed business? You’ll find that this episode of Success Unfiltered is a MUST LISTEN! Enjoy, and thank you for listening and tuning into Success Unfiltered!

Click HERE and get your sanity back! Here are a few key secrets we talked about in this episode: Michelle introduces Christa Orecchio. Christa shares about her business and transformation from private practice to creating courses online so that she could help even more people: she went from helping 1,000 people over 8 years, to being able to help 20,000 people over 4 years! Her first crisis came when she launched a gut health course: Christa expected a few hundred to join the program, and had thousands purchase. They actually crashed the sales page. Christa’s problems multiplied when her customer service team told her they were working and charged her, but didn’t actually do any of the work. Her supplement supplier also couldn’t meet the demand, and just gave up! To fix the problems, Christa offered extra webinars for her purchasers, and was transparent with them about what was going on. For their next launch, Christa decided to be proactive. She hired a new customer service team, and prepared a million dollars worth of supplements in inventory.  Then, a business partner approached Christa and asked her to lower the price of the program. She said NO, because the price was just right to be able to provide excellent care. When she said NO, he emailed her entire waitlist and said that he was NO longer supporting the program! Christa was able to revamp and find new partners, but in the end had to break apart the supplement kits and sell them separately to recoup the million dollar investment. “It's really how you show up in the moment, and you've got to be resourceful as an entrepreneur; you've got to feel failure, anxiety, overwhelm; like, cry it out for a minute, and then pull yourself together and move forward with emotional detachment and keep your eyes focused on the goal and on end solutions.” ~ Christa Orecchio How to avoid this kind of situation? Clear communication is everything! Help everyone on your team take radical personal responsibility for their role: this helps the whole business run better! Find the right people with the right skill set, and teach them how to work with you! Don’t be a people pleaser, and if they can’t work with you, then they aren’t a good fit. Your partners are a conduit of trust: they have a tribe of people who know, like, and trust them, and when they partner with you, they transfer that trust to you! Be picky about your partners, and only find those who are serving their tribe the way you want to serve. “As an entrepreneur, you're either managing overwhelm or isolation.”  ~ Christa Orecchio To avoid some of the overwhelm, get organized! Know where everything is that you need; use tools like Google Drive or Dropbox. “I'm going to die someday, so I have to get everything that's inside me out into the world just in case.” ~ Christa Orecchio Christa shares what she would tell her younger self.

Check out the answers to these important questions I received following my interview with Christa Orecchio where we discussed Resistance: Why We Know What To Eat And Still Won't Eat It.   I seriously have no time whatsoever between a full-time job, online classes, kids and a sick parent. What can I do to eat appetizing, healthy foods when I feel like I barely have time to chew? If I want to start taking care of myself in a more serious way, where should I start? Meditation? Meal planning? Exercising? I'm overwhelmed by the possibilities! Christa mentioned that she's hungry for balance. This is something I crave, too! But I've also heard that balance is a myth. What are your personal thoughts on balance and how can we start to experience it, Cynthia?

Testimonial from Rayne @ 00:26:10I had a break through and wanted to say thank you! After listening to your pod cast I was inspired to get my act together. I've been transitioning to a lower carb eating style with increased fats and moderate protein. It's been going well - lost some weight and body fat %. I'm a relatively large guy, 6'2", 230 lbs, with approx 15%bf. But the true trial came this weekend when I ran the Grand Canyon Rim to Rim to Rim. it's 48 miles and 11000 feet of climbing. I've been running ultras for a number of years and have always used "hammer nutrition" products and consumed around 2-300 calories per hour. For this run I tried something I had never used before (Cardinal sin, I know) I used Ucan super starch, Vespa and a couple of Nut butter packets. I Felt Amazing the entire way. I began to feel sleepy in the final miles so I busted out some sport jelly beans that I had held in reserve and the glucose and caffeine woke me up and I flew out of the Canyon with a total run time of just over 13 hours. For the entire day I consumed just under 200 grams of carbs and approx 88 calories per hour! I never thought that it was possible. Thanks again for your insight and inspiration. Natural UTI Remedies Craig says @ 00:29:53He has a friend who is in her mid-70s who struggles with Urinary Tract Infections. She has tried all the stuff the docs suggested but they still come back. Do you have any ideas? In my response to Craig, I mention the by Christa Orecchio and also the and How To Detox Your Liver Kristopher says @ 00:35:40 Is currently rather healthy (and an ultra runner) but was a chronic hard drug abuser in the past. He just went through a blood test and everything looks ok (except for elevated ALT, Liver Enzymes). Is there something specific he should be looking for or at? Is there a cleanse or detox he should use to minimize or heal the damage he has done to himself. In my reply, I mention the following: - - (use 10% discount code BEN) - - - Can you drink BulletProof Coffee every day? Allie says @ 00:52:12 Do you think it is a good idea to use everyday or should you take a few days off per week and save it for "big days"? Six Ways To Deal With Anxiety Michael says @ 00:58:34What would you recommend for someone with a General Anxiety Disorder and resulting chronic/adrenal fatigue. He is looking for a more natural approach to treating his disorder. He's been on meds and has weened himself off. Then he tried some natural remedies like valarian, st. john's wort, and 5-htp. They've been working pretty well but he is still feeling fatigued. He is looking for supplements, lifestyle advice, or other remedies. In my response to Michael, I recommend: - - - - - -The Brock also mentions: and . Proven Ways To Fix Muscle Cramps Christopher says @ 01:13:13He recently lost a lot of weight, started eating paleo and started racing Ironman. Since then he has been getting a lot of cramps in calves, hamstrings and thighs. Not necessarily while training or racing but when he is asleep. If he flexes his calf hard enough he can cause it to cramp whenever he wants. Is there something he could add into his diet to help? Could it be dehydration?
