Happy Wednesday Heal Squad! Welcome back to part 2 of our conversation with MindBody Expert Dr. Kim D'Eramo. In today's episode, Dr. Kim D'Eramo shows us how to tap our way through pain and become our own healers. Turns out, we're all just walking bundles of energy, and the way we manage that energy can have a huge impact - on ourselves, and the people we love. Dr. Kim breaks down the science behind it all and lets us know it's all about learning to really listen to your body, breathe with intention, and make choices that nurture your whole self, not just try to fix the symptoms. And get this - the energy you put out there? It affects your kids too. So if you're ready to redefine what healing looks like you won't want to miss this conversation. Healers and Heal-Liners The #1 thing impacting your kid is your energy field. Positive affirmations can be like putting ice cream on top of poop. First, neutralize the negative, then transition to curiosity, then tap on the positive. Being in fear, anger, or shame and embracing it, is a far higher frequency than being in fear and controlling, suppressing, or trying to fix it. Trauma is just undigested experience. Within the experience of the disease lies the antidote.

Happy Tuesday Heal Squad! Welcome to part 1 of our conversation with MindBody Expert Dr. Kim D'Eramo where we explore the source of true happiness - and guess what? It's right inside of you! Dr. Kim D'Eramo also helps us navigate the fundamental differences between self-love and self-nurturing, and the secrets of staying in the flow. She teaches us the power of embracing a "yes, and" mindset, how simply becoming more aware can trigger real physiological shifts, and why surrendering our limiting beliefs is so crucial.  Wondering how to implement all of that into your life? Dr. Kim D'Eramo shares all the practical tools to help you accomplish that through exercises like the ABC method and EFT tapping. This conversation will truly be the catalyst to change your outlook on life, so get ready to be inspired, challenged, and leave with a whole new understanding of what happiness really means.  Healers and Heal-Liners You are either in flow or resistance; open or closure. When you remember "Life is happening FOR me, not TO me," you get into the flow. Triggers are an invitation for your own expansion. When you WELCOME the trigger, you dissolve exactly what's in the way of everything you've been asking for. Your consciousness creates your chemistry. Curiosity OPENS your circuitry. We will all let go of all of our resistance, resentments, and judgments when we realize how much it is costing us to hold onto them.

In this episode of the Go Hard Chick podcast, Dr. William Davis, M.D., a cardiologist and New York Times bestselling author, shares his journey from conventional interventional cardiology to a more holistic approach to heart health.  Dr. Davis shared his personal journey, which was significantly influenced by the sudden cardiac death of his mother shortly after a successful coronary procedure. This event led him to explore and eventually advocate for preventive measures outside the conventional medical practices. Dr. Davis introduces us to the concept of the Milwaukee Heart Scan, a diagnostic tool that measures the amount of plaque in arteries and predicts potential heart attacks years before they might occur. He emphasizes the limitations of traditional treatments like statins and low-fat diets, which he argued do not effectively stop the progression of heart disease. Instead, Dr. Davis advocates for a more comprehensive approach that includes dietary changes, identifying and managing the real causes of heart disease through advanced testing like NMR lipoprotein testing, and addressing vitamin D deficiencies. A significant part of our discussion also revolved around the coronary calcium score, a test that Dr. Davis feels is underutilized in medical practice due to its low cost and lack of profitability for hospitals. He explained how this test could provide crucial early warnings for heart disease risk. Dr. Davis also touched on broader health issues, including the detrimental effects of modern wheat consumption, the importance of gut health, and the potential dangers of popular diabetes medications like Ozempic and Wegovy. He explained how these drugs could lead to muscle loss and subsequent weight gain post-treatment, worsening patients' overall health. This episode is packed with critical insights on preventive health care, the importance of dietary choices, and the need for a shift in how we manage and understand chronic diseases. Dr. Davis's expertise and innovative approaches to cardiology and overall health provided our listeners with valuable information to consider and potentially implement in their health routines.

Happy Monday Heal Squad! Welcome to part one of my conversation with Functional Medicine Expert Dr. Will Cole. After seeing an Instagram post by Dr. Cole where he shared his insights on the Netflix documentary ‘You Are What You Eat: A Twin Experiment', I was inspired to learn more about the food we are putting in our bodies. In our conversation, we delve into topics such as the performance of vegan versus omnivore diets, the distinction between causation and correlation, and the power of belief in shaping our health.  What is the best diet? Are all processed meats bad? Is it our food or is it what we have done to the food? Dr. Will Cole will answer all of these questions and so many more to help us better understand why we are what we eat. Whether you're considering a dietary change or seeking insights into our food supply, this episode will inspire you to make more informed choices regarding what you are putting into your body. Make sure to come back for part 2 where we will discuss regenerative meats, where we can buy quality meats, and orthorexia.  Healers & Heal-Liners: We have to make the distinction between causation and correlation. The average medical doctor would fail a basic nutrition test. Choose wonder over worry. The best meats to incorporate into your diet are wild-caught fish and grass-fed beef.
