We've got all the lights on, we're watching a crime drama … We just do not tell our body it's safe to sleep.” — Shae Leonard   “If we want energy and we want to feel fueled, and we want to have proper mood resilience, we have to eat whole foods.

Today we are talking about one of my most favorite things to discuss — how to be an audacious woman!

Today we're talking about something super interesting and that is the nuances of estrogen. Estrogen is one of those hormones that is synonymous with femininity on the 30,000-foot level. But, as we get closer and closer to the ground, what seems like a simple and emblematic hormone for females is actually infinitely more complex than what it first seems.   And what we're beginning to see over time is increased interference from our environment and an increased understanding of the roles that estrogen plays, the different types of estrogen, and what the breakdown products of estrogen have the capacity to contribute towards in terms of health — both good and bad.   This entire episode is all about estrogen; how we need to handle it, how we can harness it, and everything you need to know to make it your friend. Joining me for this conversation is an expert on estrogen, Kate Vasquez! Kate is a Functional Medicine Physician Assistant, Estrogen Dominance Expert, and the founder of Radiant Health.

And of course, in conventional medicine, it's treated with birth control. Because that's definitely not the answer. — Kate Vasquez   “There are a lot of disorders and conditions associated with estrogen dominance that women aren't aware of, such as endometriosis, adenomyosis, PCOS … breast cancer. … [Women] are not aware because we put these labels on them and they're treated a certain way.” — Kate Vasquez   “A lot of women will ask me, ‘Well, does my period start the cycle? Or is it at the end of the cycle?' So it's really important that we … educate women because the menstrual phase is the start of the cycle. So day one of your period is day one of the cycle.” — Kate Vasquez   “We have the power to create health and disorder in the body. … Being mindful of our thoughts can really affect the quality of our life and how our cells respond.” — Kate Vasquez   “If we can optimize and maximize our sleep, we're going to feel so much better. Even studies have proven [that] it reduces chronic disorders, … [and] it actually helps with our hormones. ... I would say optimizing your sleep is probably the best health hack.” — Kate Vasquez

Today, we're going to be exploring a tool and a mechanism for healing that, for a very long time, was suppressed because of societal messaging. And that tool is psychedelic-assisted healing.   This is an arena that has the opportunity to be flooded with funding and research. For a long time, we as humans have been connected to various forms of plant medicine and various Indigenous groups have made the use of psychedelics an important part of ceremonial healing.   So today, we're going to break down some of the science, some of the legal avenues that people have to be able to explore, leverage, and utilize psychedelics to accentuate and expedite their healing.   Leading us through this conversation today is my friend and colleague, Angela Ward! As a Registered Nurse, Transformational Coach, and “Soul Midwife,” Angela helps move people through a healing journey by leveraging psychedelics. She helps facilitate the coming together of the medical side, the spiritual side, and the psychotropic side of psychedelics as a tool for healing. Though this might be a method of healing you are not interested in trying out for yourself, I invite you to listen to this episode, regardless! I want you to go into this episode with an open mind and think outside the box of how things have always been done.   Key Takeaways: [1:22] About today's conversation with Angela Ward.

Calling all business owners! Put up your hand if you would describe yourself as “not just a numbers person.” My guest today, Danielle Hayden, is a professional bookkeeper and the founder of Kickstart Accounting. And in this episode, we are speaking directly to those who are self-described as “not a numbers person.”   And don't worry — we're not getting into the nuances of bookkeeping. We're addressing what you need to know as a business owner with respect to your numbers to sustain, grow, and uplevel your business so that you can have the impact that you want to have in the world.   Even if you're not a numbers person, you still need to look at the data and metrics and understand where they all are. Learning how to outsource the management of these outsources with a bookkeeper is a critical skill.   My challenge for all of you today is to put away that mindset of, “I am not a numbers person,” and instead, step into this conversation from a blank slate perspective. This episode is fun, highly informative, and I cannot wait for you to all hear Danielle Hayden's insights!   Key Takeaways: [1:05] About today's episode with Danielle Hayden!

This is a subject matter I'm incredibly passionate about, and that's purpose! It's the cornerstone of my methodology because we need purpose to serve as our guiding light when things don't seem all that certain or when adversity strikes.   My guest today is Tallia Deljou and finding purpose is something she dedicates her life to and coaches her clients on how to ask smarter questions to really step away from your “work” or “parent” identity and really find what's true and impactful for you.   In this episode, we learn about purpose. How you define it, how you find it, why it's important, and so much more! People often think they've found purpose, but the moment they lose their job, or retire, or their children move out of the home, their purpose seems to crumble.   Tallia offers insight on how to cultivate purpose that's so sustainable that it doesn't matter when you walk away from an identity, you can still live an authentic and meaningful life.   Key Takeaways: [1:20] About today's episode with Tallia Deljou. [2:45] Welcoming Tallia to the podcast. [5:45] How does Tallia define purpose? [8:20] How do you really live a life of purpose when you have student loans, kids, and adult responsibilities? [11:10] Is purpose a privilege? Don't get in your own way. Don't let this mindset stop you from striving for purpose. [14:00] Everyone here has the permission to pursue their purpose. [15:35] Your roles and identity are constantly changing. That doesn't mean you picked the wrong path. [17:55] People convince themselves they have to pick. In reality, you can have both. [18:50] You get to write your own rules. [19:00] How do we know when we've found our purpose or are just following a path we think society wants for us? [21:35] List out all the different roles and personas you play in your daily life, whether that be as a spouse, a parent, a daughter/son to your parents, your friends, and more. [26:55] When you have a purpose, you don't pool everything you have into one identity. [28:55] When your loved ones give you good advice, you still need to have a filter to see what parts of that information are true or relevant for you and where you are in life. [31:10] Rapid fire questions! Tallia shares a book that's really impacted her this year.   Mentioned in This Episode: Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience, by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi Stop Living on Autopilot: Take Responsibility for Your Life and Rediscover a Bolder, Happier You, by Antonio Neves Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones, by James Clear   More About Tallia Deljou Tallia Deljou is a positive psychology expert and transformational life coach helping people connect to their power and purpose.

Dr. Cortal's message of addressing the root cause of chronic pain rather than covering it up with medication is so, so important.   Our conversation today is really about the things that we can do to improve our capacity to heal post-injury, as well as what we can do to mitigate the chronic pain that we all begin to naturally experience as we age. Dr. Cortal addresses the relationship between our hormones and our increased propensity for injury and increased capacity to feel pain; the choices that we can make every single day (regardless of our age) to mitigate chronic pain as we progress through life; and what we can do to keep our bodies feeling and performing at their best.   This conversation is extremely invaluable for everybody and I highly recommend you tune in!   Key Takeaways: [1:19] About today's episode.

[10:03] How many of the patients that Dr. Cortal has worked with, would she say, have been given an appropriate protocol to take them from an acute injury to functional?

Not wanting to limit the audience of his healthy and tasty style of cooking, James started Wholesome2Go, a healthy, high-quality food delivery company that served under his leadership in the Los Angeles area for eight years.   Most recently, James launched my first functional food product, Pluck; an organ-based, all-purpose seasoning. This seasoning is the first of its kind and an amazingly easy and delicious way for people to get organ meats into their diet.   James also co-authored the recipes in Margaret Floyd's book, Eat Naked, and co-authored the follow-up cookbook, The Naked Foods Cookbook. He also recently co-authored the recipes in Dr. Alejandro Junger's book, Clean 7.   Connect with my Guest: Website: Eat Pluck — 10% off first purchase with PLUCK10 discount code!

Let's talk about the intersection of mindset, entrepreneurship, and health.

There are certain things that I've made the decision about a long time ago that I would never talk about online. One of these topics that I said I would never discuss publicly was vaccines. Can you think of a more controversial topic? I've done podcasts on sex, politics, and money — all of which can be fairly taboo  — but vaccines take the cake. But today, we're going to go there.   We're going to not just discuss the current landscape of vaccines, but the idea of informed consent. How do we, as individuals, take radical responsibility for our own health? How do we make an informed decision when we're only hearing one side of the message? This whole conversation is about informing a new way for you to think; it is not about informing what I want you to do.   I hope you'll join me in pulling back the curtain on this entire discussion around vaccines.   Key Takeaways: [:42] About today's controversial topic. [2:24] Why the discussion of vaccinations is not black and white, but in fact, grey. [2:54] Why it is important for us to be able to have nuanced conversations around vaccines. [4:00] Why I named this episode, “Why I got the jab and also why that's not your business.” [5:40] The current landscape of COVID-19 vaccinations and why I made the decision to get the jab. [7:54] How we are alienating others in making a different type of informed consent. [9:13] This conversation is really about: what types of questions could or should you be asking as someone willing and able to take responsibility for their own health? [10:25] What I've learned as a clinician about the hesitation around getting the vaccine. [13:11] The 30-thousand-foot view of vaccines. [14:05] Why we ultimately need to make the best choice for ourselves on an individual level. [15:40] What the normal vaccine development process looks like vs. the COVID-19 vaccine development process. [16:36] Why deciding whether or not you're going to get the vaccine is, in fact, a very nuanced perspective when you get to the ground level. [17:31] This is a situation that requires that we have the opportunity to move forward in our decision-making from a place of informed consent. [18:32] How to provide informed consent to patients. [20:09] The information that we are entitled to receive in order to make an informed, consensual decision around our health. [25:48] The most important pieces we need to clear about when it comes to vaccines. [26:38] We need to be aware of peer pressure so that we can make autonomous decisions with respect to our health. [27:22] Why it is imperative that we approach this situation as critical thinkers during this time. [29:40] Most importantly: we need to stop judging others' decisions. [30:18] Why I felt it was important to open the door on this conversation.   Mentioned in This Episode: 24:54 Jordan Robertson — confirmation bias; making informed choices as a health consumer, headlines   If you enjoyed our conversation and would like to hear more: Please subscribe to The Entrepology Podcast on Stitcher or iTunes.

[13:38] How did Leslie transition from a career in manufacturing to creating her own product and company? [16:24] How long did it take for Leslie to get to where she is today? How did she take that initial first step from idea to preliminary execution? [19:00] Why it is not “what you know,” but “who you need to know,” in order to execute on your vision sooner than later. [19:57] Leslie shares what her experience has been like running a business with her partner and shares some tips for other entrepreneurs on how they make it work!

It wasn't an idea that she was rushing to market. Rather, she was being as innovative and intentional as she could with the product she was creating.   As entrepreneurs, there's a time and place to move quickly and to step back and know when to take our time. The details help distinguish us in the marketplace; be sure to slow down and be intentional.   If you are creating something that you want to put out into the world that is going to stand the test of time, join the conversation over on The Entrepology Collective and Instagram @DrMeghanWalker to learn how you can take this vision and mission to the next level!

While I don't like rules, I do believe that rules have a place in both our society and in our lives.   When it comes to living my own and being able to execute in alignment with my own values, I leverage rules from a unique stance. A few years ago, I read an incredibly impactful book, The Code of the Extraordinary Mind: 10 Unconventional Laws to Redefine Your Life and Succeed On Your Own Terms, by Vishen Lakhiani. It changed my way of thinking around rules and “brules” (AKA bullsh*t rules; the rules society has created for us). Vishen contends, and I have observed, that if we are not clear on defining our own set of rules in life, we fall victim to these “brules” that are created by society.   Since this read, I've begun setting my own rules. What this has done for me in my own life is that it has created a set of boundaries and provided a framework that I'm committed to living by. In designing my own rules, I've learned how to play my own version of “the game” and live in complete alignment with my values, goals, and where I want to go. This is how I stay focused and know what actions to take in the heat of the moment.   Join me in this episode to learn more about setting your own rules, breaking the ones that don't serve you, optimizing your focus and performance, and the five rules I am currently living by right now.   Key Takeaways: [:43] About today's solo episode! [2:52] Why we need to be clear on setting our own rules in life. [4:14] How I reevaluate my rules to ensure they align with my values and goals. [5:45] The rules I set when I first set up my practice to create space and healthy boundaries in my life (and how they worked and didn't work). [8:30] How do we know when a new opportunity that comes our way is really in alignment with where we want to go? [9:06] How rules become a framework — and why this is key to living your life in alignment with your values. [10:34] Changing and creating your rules with the intentions that you set. [11:06] The rules I am currently living by right now in Q2 of this year. [11:30] My first rule: your health comes first. [16:12] My second rule: I'm going to stop selling “me.” [18:22] My third rule: no work on weekends. [19:16] My fourth rule: clear your debt by July 1st. [20:45] My fifth rule: make $10-million decisions and make decisions that relate to your impact goal of reaching 50 million people. [23:57] Why it is so important to create your own rules so you don't fall victim to society's rules. [25:14] Do you live by rules? What are the rules you live by? What are some of the rules you have chosen to make a priority for yourself over the course of this year? Let us know over on The Entrepology Collective Facebook page. [26:34] What we will be discussing in future episodes of The Entrepology Podcast!   Mentioned in This Episode: The Code of the Extraordinary Mind: 10 Unconventional Laws to Redefine Your Life and Succeed On Your Own Terms, by Vishen Lakhiani The Entrepology Podcast Ep. 122: “Body: How Toxic Light is Depleting Your Energy… and What to Do About It with the Co-Founder of Joovv” Joovv   If you enjoyed our conversation and would like to hear more: Please subscribe to The Entrepology Podcast on Stitcher or iTunes.

Today I am joined by my friend, Dr. Jordan Robertson! Dr. Robertson is the founder of Clarity Health Burlington, the host of the Women's Health Unplugged Podcast, the curator of the funniest ND memes on her Instagram profile, @DrJordanND.   More than anything, however, Jordan is a critical thinker. She has a capacity to look at complex scientific issues and quickly pull out and discern what is relevant, what is evidence-based, and what we really need to know.   In our conversation, Jordan and I aim to take the elusive concept of “Let's follow science,” and apply it to our everyday lives. Whether it's conversations related to the pandemic, everyday headlines, or your particular health concerns, Jordan provides the framework you need in order to be able to think critically for yourself about the health information that is relevant to you vs. what you can leave by the wayside.   As a strong advocate for critical appraisal, Jordan truly goes deep in this episode and shares with us all that we need to know to really look at the evidence that is provided to us and ensure that it is applicable. We talk about women's health, explore some of the myths that exist in the ecosystem, and how to ask the right questions to get the information that you need to improve the overall quality of your life.   Key Takeaways: [1:52] About today's episode with Dr. Jordan Robertson.

[16:46] Biases at large that are informing consumer health in general that people need to be aware of.

Today, I am joined by one of my very dear friends and colleagues, Dr. Michelle Peris. Together, we're sitting down to have a “special edition” episode of the podcast where we explore new and novel approaches to healthcare. Dr. Michell Peris is a Naturopathic Doctor, community builder, speaker, women's empowerment advocate, and mother. She is truly an innovator when it comes to her utilization of group programming to deliver better health outcomes.   Regardless of whether or not you work in healthcare, today's conversation is incredibly important and relevant. As voters, individuals, and healthcare consumers, we have a huge amount of power to not only make choices around our own healthcare but to actually make choices around leadership whose policy ideas lend themselves to sustainability within healthcare. And more than ever before, we're in a time and place for disruption, entrepreneurship, and innovative ideas to be brought to the table in our downstream conversations.   In this conversation, we take a deep dive into how entrepreneurship and outside-of-the-box thinking actually can lend solutions to a healthcare system that is costing us lives, money, and potential in our own health. We take a look at the incredible healthcare model that Michelle has developed around group health, its capacity to change people's lives profoundly (and in a highly economically efficient manner), and how she is leading the charge on this new frontier of healthcare.   Michelle is absolutely going to blow you away with her mission to support women and the model of care that she has developed in her practice.

[17:49] Michelle highlights some of the reasons why people are attracted to group health and the benefits of group health over individual healthcare. [21:45] What it would take to implement group programming within the broader healthcare system? What are some of the barriers to implementing it in a broader context? [26:24] How group health is able to bridge the gap in healthcare with regards to people taking responsibility for their own health. [32:38] Michelle explains what offering a group program can do in terms of shifting the landscape of what your career looks like as a practitioner. [35:30] What it would cost for someone to participate in a group program vs. seeing a practitioner one-on-one. [38:00] Why group is so much more powerful than one-on-one care and how it is on the frontier of delivering healthcare. [42:55] How Michelle has been leading the charge on this new frontier of healthcare. [43:49] Michelle's key performance indicators!

Today's episode is super interesting for those of you who really want to understand what is “below the hood' of your health!   I am joined today by Reed Davis, a Board Certified Holistic Health Practitioner (HHP) and the founder of Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® (FDN). He has literally trained thousands of practitioners around the world on how to leverage functional testing, how to understand and go deep with functional testing to truly understand what's happening inside someone's body and someone's health.   The key to what he's doing is not necessarily all of the years he has spent in school; it's the thousands of tests that he has performed on patients over the course of his career. Reed offers such incredible and unique insight in terms of what is going on with our bodies on a functional level — not lab testing that just pumps out a value — but lab testing that helps us to understand the intricacies of what is developing and what is going on in our health.   In this fascinating episode, Reed gives us a deeper understanding of our susceptibility to viruses, explains the metabolic chaos that can happen when we have hormones that are dysregulated, provides unique insight on the role of stress (and how it plays out in shifting our health over the long term), how our microbiome plays into the overarching status of our health and life, and much more!   If there is one thing that I hope you all take away from this episode it is that there is this huge opportunity to understand your bio-individuality and to assess your health. You're going to be blown away by this conversation today with Reed Davis!   Key Takeaways: [1:41] About today's episode. [3:23] Welcoming Reed Davis to the podcast! [3:54] Reed shares about his background and why he is uniquely qualified to lead today's conversation. [7:04] About Functional Diagnostic Nutrition and the origin story of its creation. [11:10] The role of functional testing in an active person who's engaged in their environment versus genetic testing, and the relationship between these two streams. [13:30] Reed speaks about the common patterns and sequences he started to see amongst his patients in common ailments — and what it indicates. [17:18] Reed provides some high-level commentary on the broad global susceptibility right now (especially for viruses like COVID-19) based on environmental influences and global health statuses. [20:46] Reed shares about the key functional tests that are at the top of his list. [22:55] The major shifts in patterns that Reed has seen in the last 10 years through running functional tests. [28:17] What is the most empowering question that patients can ask their practitioner? [32:26] Patterns that Reed sees on lab tests that are correlated to a positive health status. [36:41]The importance of “doing” rather than “taking” when it comes to health. [38:41] Reed shares what he wishes that we would pay more attention to, as a society, that would move the needle globally on our health. [40:28] Why taking radical responsibility for your health is the gateway to freedom. [43:00] Reed Davis' key performance indicators! [47:30] Where to learn more about the important work Reed Davis is doing in the world! [48:10] Thanking Reed Davis for joining us in this episode and sharing his insights.

Today I am joined by my good friend, Melanie Sutherland. Melanie is a Pelvic Health Physiotherapist, an entrepreneur, a mother, and an incredible advocate of women's health.   And what we're talking about today are the things that we wish women knew before they had a baby to optimize their health and optimize their capacity to execute in the world on the other side of motherhood. Traditionally, one of the biggest challenges in healthcare — and especially for those of us who are passionate about upstream preventative health — is that we've been trained by a healthcare system to be reactionary about health. We wait until the problem arises to deal with it. And when it comes to the changes that take place in a woman's body in that prenatal phase and how it influences health on the other side, there are some key elements that you need to be aware of in order to maximize that next phase of life. What is it that every woman needs to know before they have their baby so that their body is in the best possible shape on the other side? This is what Melanie and I are delving into today. This is a powerful and important conversation and I am excited for you to have the opportunity to join in and meet Melanie and hear all of her incredible insights!   Key Takeaways: [1:00] About today's episode! [2:24] Welcoming Melanie to The Entrepology Podcast! [3:05] Melanie shares what makes her uniquely qualified to lead today's discussion.[6:55] Why we need to prioritize ourselves as part of the prenatal experience. [8:56] The common narratives Melanie is seeing with women in her practice in regards to their pelvic floor and rehabilitation. [11:44] What do we need to know in the prenatal phase? What can we be doing to make sure that our body is in the best possible shape? [14:50] What it looks like to prioritize your health before giving birth. [19:52] How stress and burnout play into our health as new moms. [21:48] Melanie highlights some key components and tangible elements of health that women should be aware of that can be massive game-changers on the other side of giving birth. [27:17] The importance of engaging in mindfulness practices. [30:10] The connection between our pelvic floor and our health in general. [31:40] Melanie's KPIs!

Today, we're talking about something that I think is fairly confident is universal for most of you who are tuning in — and that is this concept of having a busy brain. How do we shut off the constant firing? The input? The inboxes?! All of these pieces of information that our brains are handling on a daily basis?   To help facilitate this conversation there are a lot of experts that we could have brought on, but I believe there is no better expert suited to this discussion than Dr. Romie Mushtaq! Dr. Romie is an expert on brain health and a triple board-certified neurologist. As someone who is traditionally trained, Dr. Romie has been frustrated by what she has seen over and over again in clinical practice when it comes to the intersection of our hormonal health as women and how that influences the performance of our brains. In particular, she is focused on functional and integrative medicine, the intersection of our hormones and our brains, and how the choices that we make on a daily basis influence what's happening above our shoulders.   In this episode, we're approaching this conversation from an entirely different angle than we ever have before. Dr. Romie breaks down the concept of a “busy brain,” how we can begin to address it, what a “sensory reset” is and how it can lead us down the path of “turning off” our brains, and everything we need to know about the patterns of inflammation in the brain and how they show up.   This is a deeply fascinating conversation and I cannot wait for you all to tune in!   Key Takeaways: [1:21] About today's episode with Dr. Romie Mushtaq! [3:00] Welcoming Dr. Romie Mushtaq to the podcast! [4:03] Dr. Romie shares about her career, her story and path to integrative medicine, and why she is so uniquely positioned to speak about the topic of busy brains! [6:55] How Dr. Romie began to recognize the connection between hormones and women's brains in her practice. [11:39] Dr. Romie speaks about where we are, in terms of acknowledging the intersection and influence of hormones on the brain. [12:37] Do hormones influence the brain or does the brain influence our hormones? [14:45] What is the “Busy Brain”? [17:30] The patterns of inflammation in the brain and how to begin addressing them. [23:36] You don't have to be stressed in order to be successful as an entrepreneur! [25:37] Dr. Romie shares about her recent launch, “brainSHIFT,” at Evolution Hospitality. [26:11] Dr. Romie describes a part of the “brainSHIFT” protocol called the “sensory reset.” [28:41] How to assess and address your Busy Brain! [31:24] How to “turn your brain off.” [34:24] The connection between our sense of smell and our lifelong memories and encoding. [37:07] How to do a sensory reset that is perfectly aligned with what you need. [37:32] Why Dr. Romie recommends we stay away from caffeine and alcohol. [38:55] What to do at night to sensory reset. [40:45] Why mindfulness is so key to alleviating a Busy Brain. [43:58] Dr. Romie's KPIs!

Last week, we got into 10 awesome categories of biohacks. This week, we're going to take one of those categories a little bit deeper — and that is: hormones.   Joining me is Dr. Stephanie Gray to take a deep dive into the connection between hormone optimization and longevity. Stephanie is a clinician deeply credentialed in being able to look at hormones and the influence on our health.   Today, we discuss how we can biohack the influence of hormones in terms of our longevity and quality of living over the long term, her personal story and health wake-up call that made her realize the importance of focusing on hormones within her work, and the power of simple lifestyle changes that we all can make.   This episode is deeply relevant for all of us that want to live a longer, higher quality life — which should be all of us! I can't wait for you to tune into this conversation with Dr. Stephanie Gray!   Key Takeaways: [1:30] About today's episode with Dr. Stephanie Gray!

[9:07] Why you need to ask patients what they are eating. [10:38] What is the longevity blueprint? [12:19] Why stress is the biggest hijacker of our endocrine system. [12:48] We stress doesn't equal achievement. [15:47] How to offset the impact of stress to shift to a state of thriving, and the danger of hurrying. [18:42] The power of simple lifestyle changes. [21:55] How does Stephanie leverage tests and data to see what's happening with regards to hormones in her patients? [24:17] Stephanie shares how they test hormone levels in non-cycling women. [25:18] We all have a unique blueprint — which is why taking an individualized course of action to address our own health is so key. [26:00] How our hormonal health impacts our longevity. [28:22] How our hormones impact our aesthetics (such as our skin, hair, and nails). [30:13] Is there an age cap to when we can leverage hormone replacement therapy? [31:46] Beyond hormone management, Stephanie shares some of the key pieces we can be looking at and habits we should be engaging in to optimize our health long term.

My guest today, Julie Michelson, is not only an international speaker, National Board-Certified Functional Medicine Health Coach, and someone who specializes in inflammation and autoimmunity — but, she's also a fellow biohacker! She is super interested in the strategic decisions and actions that we can take every single day to fully optimize our health.   While Julie and I want to talk about autoimmune risk and the things that we can do for our autoimmune conditions, we thought it would be really fun if we took all of the influences on autoimmune disease and talked about our favorite biohacks for each. What this means is: we are not keeping this episode exclusively for those at autoimmune risk or those managing that disease themselves. We're keeping this super general and so that everyone listening will be able to use this information to influence and optimize their health!   In this fun conversation, we're covering 10 topics and sharing our top biohacks for each one! 1. Sleep 2. Stress 3. Detox 4. Digestion 5. Immune health 6. Brain 7. Energy 8. Skin 9. Hormones 10. Autoimmune and inflammation risk.

[15:14] How detoxification and toxicity influence autoimmune and our favorite biohacks for making sure that our detox pathways are running effectively.

[34:48] What Julie does on a regular basis (and recommends to her patients as well!) that helps optimize energy. [38:10] How Julie biohacks her skin to make it feel young and healthy!

Recently, a question I was asked on our Facebook group caught my eye and stopped me in my tracks. The question was: “Is there any hope as an ND in Ontario that I will ever make more than $100,000 a year by playing by the rules?”   What we're going to do in today's episode is break this question down. We're going to uncover the root cause of what's really behind that question. What it means on a big picture level, what it means on the ground, and what the six years of working with clinicians  — helping them to build out their businesses  — has taught me about the model that we are all trying to deploy. We have been taught that a 1:1 model is the best and only way to deliver care. But do patients actually want this model of care?   We're going to focus on the problems, the challenges, and the broken elements of delivering naturopathic care, functional medicine, and strategic care in a preventative context. Even if you are not a clinician, I still highly encourage you to listen in to this episode! We will be exploring this overarching idea of crafting an offer that our customers actually want. This can be applied to any business — but especially with delivering strategic care.   “If you want to change your life, you need to change the way you are thinking about your life. If you want to change your practice, you need to change the way you practice. And if we want to reach more people without sacrificing ourselves in the process, we need to change the way we have always done it.” — Meghan Walker   Key Takeaways: [:43] About today's important episode. [4:00] The reality of the 1:1 model of care… and why it doesn't work for all (or even most) patients. [6:40] My value proposition as a practitioner and how we can help more people not by lowering our prices, but by innovating our offer. [7:40] The smarter, less expensive, more efficient way of delivering information so that we can focus on delivering strategies to our patients. [9:10] The Biopsychosocial model of care. [9:50] The delivery of transformational care vs. transactional care. [10:28] The beautiful thing about stepping into transformational care. [10:57] What we need to acknowledge as 1:1 practitioners: what is our unique selling proposition? What differentiates us from Dr. Google? [12:06] What I've noticed with patients in my own practice that were not ready for or did not want 1:1 care. [13:40] The four stages of readiness that a patient moves through on their journey to health and why we need to be crafting more than one offer (beyond 1:1 care). [17:35] The first stage of readiness: the aspirational stage (and what we can deliver care to these types of individuals). [20:15] The second stage of readiness: the empowerment phase (AKA the DIY phase), and what we can do to assist these patients. [22:32] The third stage of readiness: the strategy phase and what you can do to help them move the needle on their health. [25:08] The fourth and final stage of readiness: the growth phase — and how to keep your patients well (and not returning to your doors one year later with the same symptoms). [27:30] The tremendous shift we have seen over the last year (in the era of COVID-19) on how care is being delivered. [29:17] Why it is so important — more than ever — to have a hybrid practice. [32:05] My final answer to today's question.

It's officially March! The sun is shining, spring is in the air… and you know what that means: it's the perfect time to talk about money! But don't be scared off — we're going to help you take control of finances! We're talking personal empowerment, stepping into our “money power,” and the systems that we can begin to incorporate into our businesses so that we can take control of the financial part of our lives (and health) once and for all!   My guest today, April Stroink, is a profit-first certified practitioner. She works with small business owners to help them develop systems within their businesses so that their finances do not control them and they can truly move towards the state of freedom that all entrepreneurs desire.   In order to ultimately achieve solid health, we need to have a system that helps us manage our wealth. And more often than not, finances are a core source of stress. And I believe, in order to be an effective practitioner, we have to tackle our own demons with respect to our money mindset and management. For the sake of ultimately achieving strong health in our lives and in the world, we need to take control of our finances. I hope you'll join me today in stepping into your full money power and potential!   Key Takeaways: [1:25] About today's episode! [3:07] Welcoming April Stroink to the podcast!

2020 was a doozy but the silver lining to it was that it really was this incredible opportunity for all of us to build resilience — resilience both psychologically and physiologically.   But what does resilience really mean? And not as this esoteric, beautiful quote on Instagram; but in real life. What are the tools one would need to deploy in their own life so that when tragedy strikes they have the capacity to handle it on a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual level? How do we build resilience into our lives so that it's available to us when we need it most? How do we strengthen our resilience in order to come out of situations seeing the silver lining, the lessons, and being able to integrate that experience in a healthy way?   Joining me to answer all of these questions is Dr. Tara Guzzo; a Naturopathic Doctor, friend, and expert on the idea of resilience! In our conversation together, Dr. Tara shares a really compelling story of how her own need to overcome and integrate resilience led to the starting point of building out an incredible approach to resilience in her own practice.

Or did this experience shift her perspective in understanding this in a completely new way? [9:37] Dr. Tara's definition of what physical and emotional resilience is and looks like. [10:15] How do we build resilience in the absence of trauma? [13:05] What is the “reward” for putting in the work for building resilience? [14:52] Are men more resilient than women? [15:19] Why is Dr. Tara so passionate about exploring resilience in women in particular? [17:26] Dr. Tara provides practical strategies that you can use in the moment to build resilience, strengthen resilience, and be resilient. [22:09] What good physiological resilience looks like.

Today we are talking about a subject matter that is particularly important to me personally — and that is the idea and notion of leadership.

As women, we are sitting on a goldmine of capacity but we never have the conversations that unlock our inner goddess. This conversation kick starts the unlocking process by identifying the blocks we women face and puts forth strategies that enable us to embrace our divine feminine.   This is the third time I have invited Dr. Stephanie Estima to be a guest on the show. I continue to ask her because she has a wealth of knowledge regarding women's health and wellness. Dr. Stephanie shares the essential points from her new book, The Betty Body: A Geeky Goddess' Guide to Intuitive Eating, Balanced Hormones, and Transformative Sex. Her unique perspective is supported by all aspects of being female including how women are affected by the stark contrast of attempting to negotiate our way through the patriarchal, male-based systems in place today.   Be sure to tune in for this episode as we dive deep into how women can take control of their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. We discuss intuitive eating, how to listen to our bodies on a cellular level to feed them to contribute to our divine state, and navigating through our multidimensional operating system that we are only on the brink of understanding how to utilize.   Key Takeaways: [3:48] Stephanie was driven to disseminate her information in a way a brick and mortar clinic couldn't, so she went online. [6:04] After transitioning from a physical practice, Stephanie had to grieve for a little while. [7:05] Stephanie started the Better! podcast and is ready to “birth her book baby.” [8:50] The premise of The Betty Body book is you are already a dream girl who is on the road to self-actualization. [11:52] For females, a ketogenic diet can be an effective tool against brain fog or chronic low-grade inflammation. [15:15] What is intuitive eating and how does it play into daily health at a cellular level? [20:08] Women who try to fit into a patriarchal, male-based system do so to their detriment. [23:43] The importance of a female-based morning routine. [26:56] Women have more anxiety during the twilight hours. An evening ritual can alleviate stress and increase longevity. [29:55] Advice about orgasms on popular media often excludes female needs. [32:39] Being a woman is not a curse! [35:50] Stephanie shares the best time for women to ponder critical decisions. [39:00] Three tips for women to heighten intuition with self and care for their bodies in a whole new way. [42:23] Negative self-talk is dangerous. [43:51] Stephanie's book pick, Breath is a must-read. [45:18] Stephanie's favorite health hack. [46:45] Stephanie's purpose is to help women heal their feminine energy.

Today we are discussing a subject matter we have never discussed on The Entrepology Podcast before — and I've got to say, I think we covered it super well and really thoroughly!   My guest, Stephanie Massey, is a cancer survivor, a mother, a wife, a writer, and the daughter of a breast cancer survivor. She is also a certified cannabis educator. And what we're talking about today is all things cannabis! How do we use it medicinally? What has been the evolution of it becoming regulated in a Canadian market? How can we leverage it in our every day lives? And how do we move beyond the stigma surrounding it from the war on drugs, and instead, into the mindset of using it as a purposeful tool?   Be sure to tune in for this episode as we unpack cannabis; from the ins and outs of getting started with it, its role on our health and our endocannabinoid system, to how we can incorporate in a greater wellness plan, and the physiology behind how it can impact our mental, physical, and psychosocial health.   Key Takeaways: [1:15] About today's episode with Stephanie Massey. [3:15] Welcoming Stephanie to the podcast! [4:00] Stephanie shares her journey and why cannabis has become such a central part of the work that she does with patients and clinicians. [9:10] Where to start with cannabis when you don't know the resources or language around it. Stephanie also explains the science behind the pain relief cannabis has to offer, and the difference between CBD and hemp. [15:26] Why you should as a clinician should be taking a look at cannabis. [16:44] What science has found about the endocannabinoid system. [19:15] What else has a direct impact on our endocannabinoid system?

[24:00] The spectrum of influence that cannabis can have in the areas of health and wellness. [28:05] Not a quick fix: why you need to have patience (and curiosity) when it comes to exploring cannabis. [31:49] Cannabis is not the end-all-be-all solution: why you need to incorporate cannabis as part of a greater wellness plan and not only use cannabis. [33:40] The non-medical side of cannabis: why you may want to try it recreationally and how you can navigate this space. [38:02] What makes a more “chilled out” cannabis product vs. a more “energetic” one? How do you find out what works for you? [41:20] The benefit of going with a balanced cannabis product (similar or equal parts THC and CBD). [42:17] The different ways to consume cannabis. [50:13] Stephanie's key performance indicators!

Come join us today!   BADASS FUEL — Fuel for Badass Women Scientifically Supported Ingredients | Support, Not Replacement | Non-GMO Two years ago, someone asked me what supplements I take to maintain my health, energy, and edge — and they were surprised that I only took four things consistently. For myself and my patients, there are four basics that support — at a foundational level — nearly every system in our bodies. In my quest for the highest quality ingredients and the easiest system for consistently incorporating supplementation to my routine, I formulated and manufactured my own line of foundational supplements. Trusted for myself and my patients, and under the guidance of your own healthcare provider, I'm excited to invite you to check out our foundational product line: Badass Basics.

Are you eating when you are hungry? Or is it in response to boredom? Do you stop eating when you're content? Or do you only stop when you are stuffed? These can be tough questions to ask but recognizing your behaviors and patterns are amazing first steps! Let us know how it goes by joining the conversation over on The Entrepology Collective!
