Humans are so full of water that we are like a walking ocean, but did you know that the water inside of us may be prematurely aging us too? Victor explains that this is because deuterium, a heavier form of hydrogen that has been proven to shorten lifespans, is found in most water. After researching deuterium's effects for decades and visiting communities where people drinking water without deuterium enjoyed a longer lifespan, Victor concludes that deuterium is key to aging and should even be classified as a disease. Those in the blue zone may encounter less deuterium, but it's their daily longevity habits that supercharge their ability to ward off its effects. Because they feel safe, not stressed, and have a strong sense of belonging, their parasympathetic nervous system tends to be more activated. Victor offers fascinating insights into quantum entanglement, water as a universal consciousness, and the intelligence of this amazing substance. He sheds light on deuterium's origin and how it came to play the role on earth that it does today.

Marie Helene is a true innovator in the wellness space. We discuss Marie Helene's early years working in dolphin rebirthing therapy. Part of the healing comes from the environment of being in the water, which is like being in the womb. There are so many lessons communicated through nature that are not available in most normal modern environments. Wild environments truly bring wild experiences!Dolphins aren't always immediately available, of course, and we discuss an immediately accessible technique for reconnecting with nature called the sit spot. Reconnecting with nature is essential to reconnect with our essence. This is the path to aging with grace and part of Helene Marie's mission to re-educate people about aging. Instead of experiencing aging as approaching the end of life, it's the time when we can experience the most beautiful aspects of life and expand into who we've always wanted to be. Marie shares a powerful practice for redefining your purpose and bringing your real motivations to the surface so they can be celebrated or worked on. Attitude is everything when it comes to aging, and I hope this episode inspires you to lean into your age, whatever that may be!Special thanks to listener GabyUSA10 for their five-star review and tuning in each week!If you are enjoying these conversations, please subscribe and spread the love by leaving a review and sharing it with your friends.Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, TuneIn, or on your favorite podcast platform. Topics Covered: Marie Helene's wellness journeyDolphin therapy for healingThe Sit Spot practiceChanging the aging conversationRedefine your purposeAsking the why five times practiceBeing an eternal studentPast Episodes Mentioned:Gestalt Equine Therapy with Melissa ClaryConnect with Marie Helene Roussell: Learn more on Marie's websiteConnect with Marie on FacebookFollow Marie on InstagramConnect with Marie on LinkedInFollow Marie on TikTokGet in Touch: Become an insider and sign up for My Newsletter My WebsiteInstagramContact MeSpecial offers: Download the Daily Vitality eBook at https://mailchi.mp/danafrost/vitallyyouCredit:Podcast Production by the team at The Wave PodcastingMusic by Phoebe GreenlandPhotography by Amy Boyle PhotographyPodcast art by SimplyBe.

After catching up with my friend Amy Boyle recently, whom I've known since 2010, I felt compelled to share her full circle story and how it relates to a woman's lifecycle. Amy's story reminds me of how remarkable women are. At every stage, from mom to caregiver, from artist to teacher, from professional to being in service, women have the capacity to shapeshift to whatever situation presents at any given time. Amy vulnerably shares how the experience of caring for her mother as she prepared to transition became a treasured gift of service. Instead of halting her career or fighting what was happening, she simply allowed its trajectory to shapeshift. There's so much wisdom in allowing for life's great unfoldings.  As a photographer, Amy recalls that the lens is an extension of her heart. Through it, she sees and captures the goodness, beauty, energy, and spark of the world. Her vision is contagious! She then walks us through how she decided to take a leap into journalism, first as a student and now as a teacher. The story of the courage and curiosity that runs through Amy's family, from her mother to her son, will warm your heart.

My childhood friend and accomplished poet, Michelle Delaine Williams, joins me on Vitally You® to talk about her poetry chapbook, Good Work for Small Hands. Her book centers around her childhood in Missouri and her relationship with her mother. She shares that reflecting on those memories was profoundly cathartic, which really comes through in several of the poems she recites for us. Michelle's poem, Sprout, which she reads beautifully, transports the listener into a young person's world of feelings. Sprout invites a conversation about taking responsibility for our own lives no matter how they began. Since becoming a grandmother twice within the last 18 months, I've been thinking a lot about how we come into this world and the importance of our upbringing in shaping our future. Michelle's poems are portals to reconnecting with our younger selves and learning the ways that they wish to be present in our lives.Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, TuneIn, or on your favorite podcast platform. Topics Covered: Michelle's inspiration behind Good Work for Small HandsMichelle's path to becoming a writerWriting rituals and journaling practices Exploring beauty alongside pain in memoryHow Michelle finds feeling younger while growing olderResources Mentioned:Learn more about LifeWaveRead Wavewalker: A Memoir of Breaking Free by Suzanne HeywoodRead The Creative Act: A way of being by Rick Rubin Past Episodes Mentioned:Vitally You Episode 25  Healing Your Inner Child to Thrive as an AdultConnect with Michelle Delaine Williams: Good Work for Small Hands is available from Finishing Line Press, Amazon, or Barnes and NobleConnect with Michelle on LinkedInGet in Touch: Become an insider and sign up for My Newsletter — scroll down to the box "Don't Miss A Thing"My WebsiteInstagramContact MeSpecial offers: Download the Daily Vitality eBook at danafrost.com/daily-vitality/Credit:Podcast Production by the team at The Wave PodcastingMusic by Phoebe GreenlandPhotography by Amy Boyle PhotographyPodcast art by SimplyBe.

Did you know that your “vibe” is a real, palpable thing? This week, I'm sharing how you can neutralize triggering emotions and calm your body when you feel anxious, stressed, and depleted using very simple science-backed breathing techniques.Your heart is so smart that it knows your feelings based on the vibration broadcast throughout your body. All feelings either fuel positive or negative charges in the body. How people experience you is through this vibration; the energy that is broadcast emanates from your heart rate variability.  I share the story of how I first discovered this connection and how healing the heart has more to do with the mind and emotions. This ultimately led me to discover the HeartMath®️ Institute. Through HeartMath®,️ I discovered their scientific breathing techniques that taught me how to calm triggering emotions and restore coherence throughout my mind and body system. HeartMath® techniques neutralize triggering emotions during stressful periods, which will otherwise negatively impact your heart rate. This is important because the brain decides the next best action based on your heart rate. The techniques restore coherence between the heart and the brain rhythms by promoting positive emotional states such as appreciation, compassion, and gratitude. I then introduce the emotional compass, which illustrates how certain emotions impact the nervous system. This framework gives a deeper understanding of how, why, and when the brain releases either stress hormones or happy hormones. To encourage the happy hormones, I offer detailed instructions on how to perform three HeartMath®️ breathing techniques: Heart-Focused Breathing®, the Inner Ease®, and the Heart Lock-In®. Our nervous system can get stuck in flight, fight, or freeze, and can potentially compromise our health and immunity. I leave several questions for listeners to ask themselves to gain deeper insight into their own connection between heart and brain, as well as breath, body, and emotions. If you are enjoying these conversations, please subscribe and spread the love by leaving a review and sharing it with your friends.Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, TuneIn, or on your favorite podcast platform. Topics Covered: How I discovered the heart's connection to our emotional systemRestoring coherence between heart and brain rhythmsThe emotional compass framework illuminates stress and happiness triggers3 HeartMath®️ breathing techniquesLinks between emotions, breath, and diseaseResources Mentioned:Learn more about LifeWaveRead The Heart Speaks by Mimi GuarneriLearn more about Inner BalanceGet in Touch: Become an insider and sign up for My Newsletter — scroll down to the box "Don't Miss A Thing"My WebsiteInstagramContact MeSpecial offers: Download the Daily Vitality eBook at danafrost.com/daily-vitality/Credit:Podcast Production by the team at The Wave PodcastingMusic by Phoebe GreenlandPhotography by Amy Boyle PhotographyPodcast art by SimplyBe.

Taking leadership of your heart health is a key to longevity and vitality. In this episode, I provide a framework for heart health beyond the conventional model that is reliant upon medications. Heart disease is the number one killer of women in the U.S. and is the leading cause of death globally. The conventional model relies upon medications to manage blood pressure and cholesterol. If you are willing to take leadership over your heart health, lifestyle and stress management modalities can change the trajectory of your heart health.When it comes to taking lifelong blood pressure medications, my advice is to question if you want to be on medication for the rest of your life and alternatives for balancing blood pressure.  that protocol. Research supports health coaching as a viable option to positively impact blood pressure without medication. I provide specific nutrient and mineral deficiencies to consider. Additionally, HeartMath® breathing techniques and LifeWave's light therapy patches support heart health. It's important to understand cholesterol beyond the traditional simplified labs that measure HDL, LDL, and the ratio between the two. In this episode, we take a deep dive into cholesterol and its role in healthy hormone production for peri and menopausal women. I introduce ApoB, which is an important marker if you have high LDL. ApoBis a protein that plays a crucial role in lipid metabolism and cardiovascular health. If ApoB levels are too high, statins may be prescribed. Stains block an enzyme in the liver called Coenzyme Q10. I then review the many potential and likely side effects of statins, again encouraging lifestyle shifts as an alternative.Lastly, I give my top tip for what to address first for heart disease or metabolic chaos and then wrap up with my three-part framework for a heart healthy lifestyle. A heartfelt thanks to listener cocofrosty7, who left the show a glowing review of Vitally You®: “Trailblazer in wellness, always ahead of the curve when it comes to wellness, and thought-provoking wisdom and guidance.” Your review is deeply appreciated, cocofrosty7, and all reviews as they help keep the podcast going. If you are enjoying these conversations, please subscribe and spread the love by leaving a review and sharing it with your friends.Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, TuneIn, or on your favorite podcast platform. Topics Covered: Identifying heart disease symptomsBlood pressure management alternativesCholesterol, HDL, LDL, Triglycerides, and APOBSeed oils are not part of our ancestral food chain!My 3-part framework for a heart-healthy lifestyleResources Mentioned:Learn more about LifeWaveResearch about health coaching as a modality to reduce blood pressureHeartMath® research reducing blood pressure with HeartMath® techniquesLearn more about TruDiagnosticLearn more about The DNA CompanyLearn more about ViomeRead Understanding The Heart by Dr. Stephen HusseySign up for Be the Boss of Your Blood Pressure with Vanessa FarrellWatch Dr. Boz's YouTube channel about cholesterolPast Episodes Mentioned:Vitally You Episode 24: DNA Testing and Your Health with Kashif Khan, CEO and Founder of The DNA CompanyVitally You Episode 09: What's Your True Age with TruDiagnostic and Hannah WentVitally You Episode 86: Your Body Needs an Oil Change: The Truth About & Power of Essential Fatty Acids with Udo ErasmusGet in Touch: Become an insider and sign up for My Newsletter — scroll down to the box "Don't Miss A Thing"My WebsiteInstagramContact MeSpecial offers: Download the Daily Vitality eBook at danafrost.com/daily-vitality/Credit:Podcast Production by the team at The Wave PodcastingMusic by Phoebe GreenlandPhotography by Amy Boyle PhotographyPodcast art by  SimplyBe.

Do you recognize any patterns in your life? As a human being, I'm sure the answer is a resounding yes. When you find yourself defaulting to an unwanted pattern, you can choose to ignore it or do the work to clear it. In this episode, I unpack the deep connection between thoughts, beliefs, and actions, as well as what I do when I start reliving old patterns that don't serve me.In the past few months, I found myself believing that no one understands me, I don't have room in my personal life for my work, and that the people I love the most don't respect my career. The busy holiday season brought me back to the years when I was raising my children and supporting my husband's career. It's been a long time since these thoughts have come up, but it was an important reminder that life is about presence, not perfection. When I found myself feeling depleted and stagnant, I took an honest look at my sleep, nutrition, movement, and mindset. I leaned into the practices that have supported me in the past, such as doing my sunrise and sunset routines, getting on my Power Plate, and mirror gazing. Most importantly, when I felt resistance or constriction, I became really curious about it and worked to reframe the thoughts that would appear in those moments. Listen in to hear how you can cultivate space to release unconscious thought patterns and create a strategy to free yourself from the beliefs that hold you back. If you are enjoying these conversations, please subscribe and spread the love by leaving a review and sharing it with your friends.Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, TuneIn, or on your favorite podcast platform. Topics Covered: Why it's so important to recognize patterns in your lifeSigns that you're experiencing a crisis of confidenceUnderstanding how your thoughts impact your beliefs and actions The tools I learned in therapy that I consistently rely on My advice to anyone who feels trapped by their unconscious patterns Resources Mentioned:Learn more about LifeWaveUse code VitallyYou for 20% off your ENERGYbits order The Work of Byron KatiePower PlateBeauty Fascia 30-Day Challenge   Past Episodes Mentioned:Vitally You Episode 76: Daily Ritual Quiet Time PracticeVitally You Episode 110: A Calming Meditation to Soothe Emotional TriggersGet in Touch: Become an insider and sign up for My Newsletter — scroll down to the box "Don't Miss A Thing"My WebsiteInstagramContact MeSpecial offers: Download the Daily Vitality eBook at danafrost.com/daily-vitality/Credit:Podcast Production by the team at The Wave PodcastingMusic by Phoebe GreenlandPhotography by Amy Boyle PhotographyPodcast art by SimplyBe.

In today's episode, I discuss the emotional experiences that are magnified during the holidays and the extremes of navigating the healing process. I invite you to sit with me for a few moments while I lead a meditation to soothe emotional triggers and provide a pillow of support. It's a potent time of the year and I want to stick with you on this journey back to yourself.  First, I guide you through how to find a comfortable position and begin to connect with your body. What does your breath feel like? Allow physical touch as you bring attention to all parts of yourself. From there, start to notice the sensations and vibrations throughout your electric body. Where do you feel tingling? When you bring attention to a part of your body, you can understand what's happening in that part of the body. This light body is your vital life force. As you are present in your light body, I share a visualization technique to encapsulate your earth body with a golden light. Then, slowly acknowledge an emotional trigger as you release it from the heart. Can your golden light flow into the heart, clearing energy with warmth and ease? You have the power to be present with your feelings and care for them.I'm thinking about you, the Vitally You community, with gratitude, respect, and compassion. No matter what you are going through, I hope you feel supported and held. Listen to this episode for a meditation that will guide you into a container of compassion.

In today's episode, I share three coaching tips to help you thrive during the holidays and explore how these self-care strategies can raise energy, shift perspective, and promote healing. I also provide specific examples to help integrate these tips into your daily life beyond the holiday season.Tip #1: Give yourself permission to take timeouts when with extended family or during large gatherings. Carving out time for yourself will keep your energy tank properly refueled. I detail why I call these the “islands of respite.”Tip #2: Practice a 12-hour fast and be mindful that your daily habits include consuming protein, fiber, and fat. Also, make sure you're staying hydrated and properly digesting and eliminating. I illustrate how this allows the body to properly reset and heal throughout the day and night. Tip #3: Use the Freeze Frame five-step HeartMath technique to shift you from a triggered state to a state where you can heal. I share why this is a powerful tool to call upon our Higher Self and observe the beneficial shifts. Plus, I detail an exciting health tech startup called The Metapause that wants to change the menopause narrative and experience for women. I share how my own menopause story was related to my 2011 health crisis involving a pacemaker, various doctors, and learning the role of hormonal health beyond our physical structure. I want to invite you to evaluate every aspect of your life in support of an easier menopause transition and healing in a healthy way.Listen to this episode for three coaching tips to help you thrive during the holiday, plus information on an exciting new health tech startup that wants to change the menopause narrative.

Spend Your Energy Wildly is the topic for Part 6, the final episode in our six-part book series. Gladys' teaching is that living well is a matter of learning how to steer your energy toward life. I recap the previous five lessons and illustrate how to receive the lessons and love from each moment. I share client stories and moments from my own life tied to the choice of expanding your energy wildly vs. wisely. I end the episode with Gladys' six-part practice on how to embrace and appreciate the gift of life. Gladys shares the decision to stop fighting at school in order to make connections. She had to redirect the energy and unconscious patterns created in her family with intention and purpose. We all have sovereignty over our energy. I share a moment from my life when my husband and I were inspired by families in our church to adopt children of our own. I discovered the capacity of both my light and darkness while raising five children, but I had the agency to expand and move toward light energy. I also illustrate Gladys' practice on how to embrace life with a series of questions for inquiry so life can grow and expand with you. Can you feel life's boundless energy moving throughout your body? This message is a reminder to embrace the wildness of life around you. Listen in to learn Glady's teachings as a stepping stone on the journey to a life well-lived.

Thank you for joining me last week for Part 3 of my Six-Part Book Chat series. In this episode, we dive into Part 4 of the book around the topic that you are never truly alone. I share a framework for both soul and social connection and illustrate concepts from Gladys around the power of listening and embracing imperfection. I end the episode with Gladys' five-step practice for weaving the fabric of life together.  At a recent Biohacking Congress, I had a conversation with someone built on mutual vulnerability. At that moment, I wasn't there to do most of the talking. I was there to simply listen. I share the need for both social and soul connections and two studies from Gladys' book on loneliness and adult development. In her book, Gladys writes about embracing imperfection. I detail how the birth of my 2nd grandchild was a chaotic, but incredibly powerful and connected time. I also share how living in proximity allows for more intimate connections to happen, and a story about my move to Chicago after living abroad. When we align with community, our life force is fueled. I illustrate Gladys' five-step practice for weaving the fabric of life together. This is a powerful message that serves as a reminder of the love around you. Listen in to learn more about the wisdom and insight Gladys has to share with us.

Thank you for joining me last week for Part 2 of my Six-Part Book Chat series. In this episode, we dive into Part 3 of the book where Gladys writes that love is more powerful than any medicine you can take. I share personal stories about love from my own upbringing and the greatest unconditional love story ever told. I end the episode with Gladys' Love Yourself Into Healing visualization practice to give space for love to trickle in. My “head start” in life wasn't in a wealthy or influential family. It was in love. When I experienced a family crisis while a freshman in college, I still knew that I was loved and valued. Even in feelings of loneliness, the love remained. I share the greatest love story ever told, Jesus, as a true model of unconditional love and our connection to Divine Source energy. Gladys writes that the power of love is undervalued and overlooked. Love has guided my own life, toward self-forgiveness and in release of rage. To illustrate the vibration of love, I tell Gladys' story about the Carlsbad Caves and how one small light can dispel the darkness. Love is what can breathe life into any emotionally helpless situation. I share Gladys' Love Yourself Into Healing visualization practice in honor of embracing the journey toward love. There is transformation when we can get quiet, listen, and be compassionate with ourselves. This is where we have dominion and power. Listen in to learn more about the wisdom and insight Gladys has to share with us. Let love be the trickle to guide you along the journey of life.

Thank you for joining me last week for Part One of my Six-Part Book Chat series. In this episode, we dive into Part 2 of the book where Gladys writes about “the trickle” and three hindrances to confront in order to realign with life. I share how emotional pain is related to forgiveness and shame and the ways it can hold us hostage from our fullest range of life force energy. I end the episode with Gladys' movement practice for letting go and turning our attention back to love. During my marriage crisis, I aligned with the energy of my family to see the trickle moving through the flow of life and our commitment to our children. When we're in pain, we tend to stop moving, but in reality, movement is the solution to keep our energy system flowing. I share Gladys' specific practice with hand gestures to deal with blockages and alleviate emotional pain. In order to navigate the pain and find the trickle, we must move something in our life.For a true release in support of your life force, I share Gladys' process for letting go and letting energy flow. I recently used this process to work out my feelings about the U.S. medical system. I stretched, I danced, I pounded, I jumped — and I felt amazing. Listen in to learn more about the wisdom and insight Gladys has to share with us. Let movement guide and revitalize your life force energy. Is there something in your life that's asking to be moved?

Thank you for joining me for part one of my Five-Part Book Chat series. In this episode, I share excerpts from Gladys about topics including longevity, the body's service to the soul, the feminine emotional compass, and looking at health from a whole-body, functional lens. I also share stories and experiences from my own life that have given me an understanding of how to live within our soul's purpose, filled with compassion, kindness, and patience. I have always believed that our health is deeper than the physical body, which is why I love the whole-body, functional medicine lens so much. Everything is woven together and connected to and through us, from the inside out. When the electrical conduction of my heart burned out, I learned how every experience teaches you something along the way. When things get messy and chaotic, Gladys calls it “turning towards life,” a time to find our life force and access our “juice.” I also share how I was recommended to go the pharmaceutical route during my health crisis and how all areas of our lives must be taken into consideration. For a life filled with true vitality and longevity, I illustrate Gladys' six-step system filled with wisdom for taking slow, gradual steps toward finding your juice.

Heather and I discuss the origins of Bennd Yoga and she details the Ayurvedic principles at the core of these innovative yoga mats and accessories. Ayurveda is an ancient traditional health care system that focuses on strengthening the mind/body connection through medicinal herbs, diet, exercise, meditation, and breath. After discovering this healing modality, Heather was inspired to create yoga products that are 100% natural, hand-loomed, and medicinally dyed with plants and herbal remedies. Heather describes how each mat and prop is created, explaining how the Ayurvedic process positively affects yoga practitioners. Heather also dives deeper on what research shows about the impact plastic yoga mats have on the environment and endocrine system. Listen in to learn more about how you can infuse Ayurvedic medicine in your daily routine and support your health on a cellular level. If you are enjoying these conversations, please subscribe and spread the love by leaving a review and sharing it with your friends.Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, TuneIn, or on your favorite podcast platform. Topics Covered: The inspiration behind Bennd Yoga The energetic quality of dyeing textiles using medicinal herbs like indigo, turmeric, and holy basil My experience using Bennd products Why you should care about how and where your yoga mat is made Simple, yet effective ways to reduce your daily exposure to toxins Resources Mentioned:Use code VITALLYYOU $25 off your purchase at benndyoga.comLearn more about Inlight Therapy at inlighttherapyinc.comLearn more about LifeWaveConnect with Heather: Shop Bennd YogaFollow Bennd Yoga on InstagramGet in Touch: Become an insider and sign up for My Newsletter — scroll down to the box "Don't Miss A Thing"My WebsiteInstagramContact MeSpecial offers: Download the Daily Vitality eBook at danafrost.com/daily-vitality/Credit:Podcast Production by the team at The Wave PodcastingMusic by Phoebe GreenlandPhotography by Amy Boyle PhotographyPodcast art by SimplyBe.

You may have noticed there wasn't an episode last week. That's because I've spent two weeks working on this topic: relationships relative to longevity. I share how relationships seem fractured since the pandemic and my own challenges connecting.  My perspective feels rocky, but there is a desire to lean into human connection with each of you and continue sharing in hopes of strengthening community and our bond to one another. While the national mood and media would have us focus on our differences, our humanity invites us to lean into our commonalities.  In this episode, I talk about the Blue Zone communities around the globe, where humans have the most longevity and lifespan. I also detail a Harvard study on adult development which says that relationships are the key to happiness — not professional success, wealth, or education. Listen in to hear how relationships are the key to healthy longevity, current data and research about life expectancy, and my outlook on my relationship to connection and desire to continue showing up with and for all of you if hearing my voice weekly is beneficial.If you are enjoying these conversations, please subscribe and spread the love by leaving a review and sharing it with your friends.

Plus, I explore the root meaning of breath in different languages to better understand why the breath is the soul's expression in the body.  I also detail my 2011 health crisis and how I found HeartMath, a California research institute that studies the connection between heart rate variability and the nervous system and created core breathing techniques to help reset the nervous system. Listen in to understand how breath is our most natural tool to battle the cycle of disease, chronic pain, inflammation, mental health challenges, and emotional issues.

What does it mean to be a fully awakened and expressed feminine goddess? I am recapping my experience from a 7-day Bali retreat hosted by Vonetta Taylor, mystic and founder of Crowned & Throned, a Modern Mystery School, which includes new insights I'm excited to share around “temple time.” I also detail the importance of receiving tender care, compassion, and generosity before we can give. Bali touched my heart in a unique way and it's been a long time since I have witnessed my worthiness solely for my humanity — this includes dancing, femininity, and setting intentions in a beautiful lush garden setting. Listen in to learn the first insight from my experience in Bali, and the relevance it may have for you. If you are enjoying these conversations, please subscribe and spread the love by leaving a review and sharing it with your friends.Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, TuneIn, or on your favorite podcast platform. Topics Covered: Questions about how this season of life is goingReminders about being gracious with yourselfRecap of a 7-day Bali retreat with Vonetta TaylorNew learnings about women-held ceremonies in temples An invitation to join an insider email list for solo entrepreneursWhat to expect on future episodes of Vitally YouConnect with Vonetta: Vonetta's WebsiteVonetta's InstagramGet in Touch: Become an insider and sign up for My Newsletter — scroll down to the box "Don't Miss A Thing"My WebsiteInstagramSpecial offers: Download the Daily Vitality eBook at danafrost.com/daily-vitality/Credit:Podcast Production by the team at The Wave PodcastingMusic by Phoebe GreenlandPhotography by Amy Boyle PhotographyPodcast art by SimplyBe.

Author and podcast host Allison Pelot joins me to expand on the principles of empowered wellness. We talk about daily practices that allow space for reflection and connection, as well as what inspired her to write her book, Finally Thriving. Allison highlights how writing has the power to bring subconscious stories to the surface and provide a different lens on life. In building the habit of journaling, we can follow our curiosity and disrupt patterning. So many of us are used to living life like we're performing, but once we start to detach from the outcomes and embrace the flow, that's when we truly start thriving. Allison and I discuss the value of prioritizing time to be in your energy, or as she likes to call it, taking yourself out on a wellness date.

I'm joined by board certified Traditional Naturopath Cathey Painter to discuss what redox molecules are and different protocols for addressing deficiencies. In our conversation, Cathey highlights how we can use redox molecule supplementation to improve sleep, energy, blood flow, and more. Redox signaling molecules are considered ‘messenger molecules,' or in other words, they promote optimal cellular communication throughout the body. They work to repair damaged DNA, which is especially important in today's world where we're bombarded by toxins. But, what happens when our bodies slowly stop producing these molecules? Cathey shares examples of health issues that she's seen in her personal and professional life that have been greatly improved, if not diminished, by redox molecule supplementation. We also touch on how allergies impact longevity and a technique that retrains the nervous system to no longer experience stress by different foods or environmental factors. Listen in to learn more about how to replenish your body's ability to communicate and repair.If you are enjoying these conversations, please subscribe and spread the love by leaving a review and sharing it with your friends.Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, TuneIn, or on your favorite podcast platform. Topics Covered: Cathey's journey to naturopathy Tips for daily, gentle detoxing The simple checklist Cathey uses to target deficiencies An overview of Nambudripad Allergy Elimination Techniques The outcomes of redox molecule deficiencies Ways to use redox molecule supplementation to get back to homeostasis in the body Resources Mentioned:Nambudripad Allergy Elimination TechniquesSchwarz Wellness CenterConnect with Cathey: Discover the ASEA Products & Redox LifestyleLearn more on Cathey's websiteFollow Cathey on LinkedInIf you are interested in the Redox Molecules, Cathey's free webinars, or speaking directly with Cathey, you can reach her through her websiteGet in Touch: My WebsiteInstagramSpecial offers: Download the Daily Vitality eBook at danafrost.com/daily-vitality/Credit:Podcast Production by the team at The Wave PodcastingMusic by Phoebe GreenlandPhotography by Amy Boyle PhotographyPodcast art by SimplyBe.

I'm joined by Udo Erasmus, founder of the award-winning supplement company Udo's Choice, to learn more about the benefits of essential fatty acids. For over 40 years, Udo has been paving the way for sustainable oils that have health in mind. In our conversation, he shares his inspiring origin story and the journey that led him to transform the edible oil industry. After being poisoned by pesticides in 1980, Udo started looking into the quality of his food, water, and air intake. He gained a deeper understanding of the impact that oil has on mental and physical health, and even discovered that 99% of the population doesn't consume enough Omega 3. He and his team developed the first ever flaxseed oil and have since expanded the range to include optimal oil blends and other products like probiotics and greens. Udo shares simple, tangible ways to improve health outcomes through diet. Lifestyle changes can feel hard to implement, but Udo is living proof that it's possible to feel younger while growing older when you prioritize what you put in your body. Listen in to hear our discussion about the power of essential fatty acids and how to start incorporating them into your diet. If you are enjoying these conversations, please subscribe and spread the love by leaving a review and sharing it with your friends.Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, TuneIn, or on your favorite podcast platform. Topics Covered: Where Udo's drive and passion for science stems from The truth about how cooking oils are made and the damaging effects they have on the body Why it's important to eliminate light, oxygen, and heat from the oil distillation and storage process Debunking myths about oils and weight gain Advice for anyone struggling with making lifestyle and diet changes Resources Mentioned:Shop Udo's Choice Books by Udo ErasmusConnect with Udo: Udo's Website Udo's InstagramUdo's FacebookGet in Touch: My WebsiteInstagramSpecial offers: Download your free copy of Udo's guide: Your Body Needs an Oil ChangeDownload the Daily Vitality eBook at danafrost.com/daily-vitality/Credit:Podcast Production by the team at The Wave PodcastingMusic by Phoebe GreenlandPhotography by Amy Boyle PhotographyPodcast art by SimplyBe.

A woman's risk for an osteoporosis fracture is greater than her combined risk for breast, uterine, and ovarian cancer, but it doesn't get nearly enough attention. I'm joined by Dr. John Neustadt, Naturopathic Physician and Integrative Medical Expert, to discuss what we can do to help maintain and improve bone density as we age.  As we lose mobility, our vitality absolutely diminishes. The conventional healthcare model focuses almost exclusively on bone density testing, which measures calcium and other minerals in your bones to predict the likelihood of a fracture. John highlights the limitations of these tests and suggests we shift our focus to modifiable risk factors like diet, functional movement, and supplementation. In our conversation, John shares advice for anyone who feels overwhelmed with their osteoporosis diagnosis and the options for improving bone health.

Master Life Coach Bridgette Boudreau joins me on this episode to discuss her signature Mosaic Path course that helps people in midlife and beyond create their Third Act. Bridgette brings a creative, practical, and spiritual approach to the question many of us face approaching purpose after age 50 and beyond: What's next?  In our conversation, she describes what the Mosaic Path is and how we can use it to spark the third season of life. The Mosaic Path is a framework that harvests all the pieces of your life and helps you artfully craft them in a way that suggests your path forward. Because so many of us view life in a linear fashion, insights and perspectives are often missed or neglected. By embarking on ‘Mosaic Missions,' we can glean insights from our history, build awareness about our passions, and create opportunities for self-discovery. In our conversation, Bridgette and I talk about the undercurrent of personal growth that's required to detach from outcomes and lead an intentional life. We also look at ways that we've interpreted the cues the universe sends our way, particularly through the lens of the roles we've played. Listen in to learn more about The Mosaic Path method and how it can be a helpful tool for your third act of life. If you are enjoying these conversations, please subscribe and spread the love by leaving a review and sharing it with your friends.Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, TuneIn, or on your favorite podcast platform. Topics Covered: Why Bridgette created The Mosaic PathRecognizing when you adhere to expectations that constrict your creativityKeeping yourself relaxed in the midst of playing pitch and catch with the universeThe difference between hard focus and soft focusThe process that Bridgette walks clients through on The Mosaic PathWhy retirement age is an excellent time for reflection and explorationResources Mentioned:Animal-Speak by Ted Andrews Connect with Bridgette: Bridgette's WebsiteBridgette's Mosaic Path courseA free sample of the Mosaic Path, an overview and a fun exercise to tryGet in Touch: My WebsiteInstagramSpecial offers: Download the Daily Vitality eBook at danafrost.com/daily-vitality/Credit:Podcast Production by the team at The Wave PodcastingMusic by Phoebe GreenlandPhotography by Amy Boyle PhotographyPodcast art by SimplyBe.

After being cut out of someone's life recently, it got me thinking about the state of modern relationships and this culture of excommunicating anyone that we don't agree with. In this episode, I share three frameworks for restoring harmony and healing relational wounds. Cancel culture plagues our world with depleting emotions like fear, distrust, and anxiety. It might seem easy to block someone online or in real life, but in reality, when that negative energy gets trapped in the body and manifests itself in other ways. Of course, there are situations where it makes sense to uphold boundaries and protect yourself, but when you simply disagree with someone, there are alternative solutions to canceling them. I've witnessed the power of forgiveness first hand, and I share two ways that I practice forgiveness for myself and others. I also try to incorporate transparent, authentic, and open communication skills into everyday life and stay grounded in Don Miguel Ruiz's teachings about The Four Agreements.   Listen in as I unpack the reality of cancel culture and how we can all become more compassionate communicators.  If you are enjoying these conversations, please subscribe and spread the love by leaving a review and sharing it with your friends.Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, TuneIn, or on your favorite podcast platform. Topics Covered: The energy behind cancel culture How cutting someone out of your life can create even more depleting emotions Learning to embrace imperfections in yourself and others Ways to restore harmony when trust has been broken Communication principles from Taoism that I resonate with Recognizing when you take things personally or make assumptions Resources Mentioned:The Four Agreements by Don Miguel RuizEpisode 82.

Stem cells are the building blocks for the human body, and without stem cell activity, the body can't repair, regenerate or renew itself. Stem cell activity decreases as we age, but there are several ways to reverse the effects of that biological process. In today's episode, I share simple, cost-effective wellness protocols that can help you create a healthy environment for stem cells to thrive. There are three main types of stem cells and different therapies associated with them. But, before you go down the path of procedures that cost tens of thousands of dollars, there are things you can do everyday to optimize healthy stem cell activity. Between your diet, exercise, and stress management, your experience of aging is within your control. One of the tools that has been instrumental for me in my journey of feeling younger while growing older has been using LifeWave patch technology. In this episode, I unpack the benefits of these patches and announce a giveaway I'm doing so you can try them out. Here's how to enter to win a 30-day supply of LifeWave X39 or X49 stem cell activation patches: Leave a review on Apple Podcasts. Screenshot your review and send it to dana@danafrost.com or via Instagram DM @danafrost.  Follow me on Instagram, link to this episode on your Instagram story and tag me in that story. The giveaway closes on May 8th, so be sure to enter before then! Listen in to learn more about what stem cells are and how you can continue to promote stem cell activity as you age. If you are enjoying these conversations, please subscribe and spread the love by leaving a review and sharing it with your friends.Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, TuneIn, or on your favorite podcast platform. Topics Covered: The role that stem cells play in overall health and quality of lifeKey lifestyle changes that can promote the activation and growth of stem cellsThe pros and cons of different stem cell therapies that are available right now Non-invasive and convenient ways to support the body's natural production of stem cells. The changes that I've noticed in myself since I started using LifeWave patches Resources Mentioned:Episode 24.

The mind-body system is always getting feedback from the environment. I'm joined by luxury interior designer Nicholas Moriarty to explore that intersection of health and design. He shares his perspective on how we can build a cradle of support in our spaces and use interior design to inform healthy habits and rituals. Because Nicholas works in the luxury design space, he's witnessed firsthand the importance of energetics in a home. In his words, you can have all the visual beauty in the world, but if you're not fixing what's happening internally, then it doesn't matter what's manifesting on the outside. We discuss how this concept has shown up in both of our lives, and specifically for Nicholas, how it's infomed his career as a designer. Nicholas also shares small design elements that you can edit and change to make each space in your home more purposeful.

When I saw Gwyneth Paltrow was featured on Dr. Will Cole's podcast The Art of Being Well, a show that I enjoy and respect, I was anticipating a lively and educational conversion. Instead, I was alarmed by the comments that the Goop “wellness guru” made about fasting, nutrition, and aging. In today's episode, I unpack the routine that Gweneth Paltrow described on The Art of Being Well and highlight how her habits reveal a darker side of the wellness industry. I share my personal approach to chasing better outcomes than my ancestors, including how I work on supporting a healthy immune system, optimal mind, and strong body. I find most women are chasing the image of their younger selves, and I've even found myself doing the same thing. But when I bring my focus back to the present moment and who I am today, this is where the real wellness journey is happening. I want to encourage you to block out the unrealistic standards and airbrushed photos that wellness “experts” sell to us, and instead  feel the power that is rooted inside of you and allow yourself to express it out in the world. Listen in to hear my reflection on the current wellness industry trends and influencers.  If you are enjoying these conversations, please subscribe and spread the love by leaving a review and sharing it with your friends.Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, TuneIn, or on your favorite podcast platform. Topics Covered: Gweneth Paltrow's response to the public outrage over her interview A metric that for determining if you're overly taxing your adrenal glands My experience with physical and spiritual fasting Understanding what you're really looking for when you reach for food between mealtimes Celebrating the natural cycle of womanhood What feeling younger while growing older means to me today Resources Mentioned:To learn how you can activate your own stem cells with a simple patch, go to: lifewave.com/vitallyyouGwyneth Paltrow: On Approaching 50 Gwyneth Paltrow's photoshoot Get in Touch: My WebsiteInstagramSpecial offers: Download the Daily Vitality eBook at danafrost.com/daily-vitality/Credit:Podcast Production by the team at The Wave PodcastingMusic by Phoebe GreenlandPhotography by Amy Boyle PhotographyPodcast art by SimplyBe.

Chronic conditions have a way of robbing people of their vitality and freedom. I've shared many alternative healing modalities on the show, but one that I've been diving deeper into lately is biofeedback and energy scanning, particularly the Spooky2 system. I'm joined by Heather Hasuman, a personal trainer with extensive knowledge of Rife technology, to discuss how this framework has not only transformed her life, but also the lives of her clients. As a child, Heather was diagnosed with a host of food and airborne allergies, which became more aggressive and all-encompassing as an adult. When she started working with a Functional Medicine Practitioner, a biofeedback scan revealed that Heather had been unknowingly fighting off parasites for nearly her entire life, which resulted in hormone imbalances, vitamin deficiencies, and autoimmune disorders. We can tap into what's going on underneath the surface by using energetic frequencies. In our conversation, Heather explains how Rife technology works by delivering a low energy electromagnetic frequency into the body. She also shares an overview of the history of this protocol and examples of incredible success stories. Listen in to learn more about the possibilities that exist within the realm of frequency healing. If you are enjoying these conversations, please subscribe and spread the love by leaving a review and sharing it with your friends.Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, TuneIn, or on your favorite podcast platform. Topics Covered: The tipping point in Heather's healing journey The amazing outcomes of Heather's parasite cleansing protocol Using Rife technology to pinpoint what's happening within the bodyDifferent ways that the Spooky2 machine can intake information How to use energetic frequencies to target specific areas of the body Resources Mentioned:Join me for Spring Forward: An Immersive Virtual Weekend Workshop.

Have you ever felt that unrelenting, bone-tired fatigue? Between healing from a parasitic infection, supporting my mom with her cancer diagnosis, and celebrating my daughter's engagement, I have not felt this tired since 2017. Because I've experienced adrenal fatigue in the past, I want to share my framework and tips for getting back to a regulated, optimal state. First and foremost, we have to look at the thoughts and beliefs that we have about our fatigue. It's normal to resist it, feel shame about it, or just plain hate it. In my experience, once you start to express gratitude for your body and its internal messaging system, it creates a welcoming environment for healing. In this episode, I highlight certain lifestyle and diet factors that tend to trigger adrenal fatigue, including poor sleep hygiene, nutrient deficiencies, and exercise patterns. I share simple steps that help address those factors and support your journey to feeling energized again. Listen in to learn more about adrenal fatigue and how to heal from it. If you are enjoying these conversations, please subscribe and spread the love by leaving a review and sharing it with your friends.Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, TuneIn, or on your favorite podcast platform. Topics Covered: Opening up the dialogue with your body and honoring what it needs Flipping the script on how we judge fatigue My previous experiences with adrenal fatigue and how I discovered solutions How you can take dominion over your adrenal fatigue diagnosis The first step for getting your energy levels back up Learning to embrace deep rest and relaxation in such a busy world  Resources Mentioned:Spring Forward: An Immersive Spring RetreatLifeWave PatchesEpisodes Mentioned: If you missed Episode 46 with Stephanie Graves "What is Adrenal Fatigue and Chronic Sympathetic Activation," go back because there's a lot of helpful information for anyone who is beyond simple fatigueYou can also tune into Episode 7 with Dame Sandra Biskind, "Activate Abundance" where we talk about the patch technologyIf you want to learn more about herbal remedies, check out Episode 29 "Introduction to Herbal Medicine" with China Rose ZamoraLearn more about Rachel White and her shamanic work on Episode 40 "Floral Essences"Get in Touch: My WebsiteInstagramSpecial offers: Download the Daily Vitality eBook at danafrost.com/daily-vitality/Credit:Podcast Production by the team at The Wave PodcastingMusic by Phoebe GreenlandPhotography by Amy Boyle PhotographyPodcast art by SimplyBe.

Bringing purpose and ritual to the start of each day is a powerful elixir for the rest of the day. Today, I introduce the practice of "Quiet Time,"  a daily ritual in my life since I was a teenager. Through the decades, it's become increasingly valuable and how I access my wise inner teacher.  I've worked closely with today's guest, Linda Neff, and introduced her to quiet time and tuning into the innate wisdom within. In our conversation, we discuss how our quiet time rituals have evolved over the years and why it's something that we continue to show up for daily. We're all inundated with outside influences and noise, but when I have my morning quiet time, I find that I can move through life more intuitively and connected. In this episode, Linda and I look back on periods of our lives where quiet time really shifted what we were feeling and provided us the space to proceed in a more aligned way. Linda and I share some of the props and elements of our routines that have been supportive throughout the years, such as journaling, reading, or sometimes simply sitting in silence. Linda also opens up about what's been coming up for her in quiet time during this season of her life.  Listen in to learn about what quiet time is and why it's where I start with my clients. If you enjoy these conversations, please subscribe and spread the love by leaving a review and sharing it with your friends.Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, TuneIn, or on your favorite podcast platform. Topics Covered: The benefits of a quiet time ritualMy quiet time journey and how I got started with it as a teenagerBeing disciplined and dedicated to showing up for yourself every dayDiscovering the wisdom that exists within stillnessApproaching your thoughts and feelings with a sense of curiosity instead of judgmentResources Mentioned:Email me at dana@danafrost.com if you want to continue the conversation about the quiet time ritualGratipadsView from the Mountaintop by Lee Ann Fagon DzelzkalnsLearn more about Lee Ann Fagon Dzelzkalns Connect with LindaLinda's LinkedInGet in Touch: My WebsiteInstagramSpecial offers: Download the Daily Vitality eBook at danafrost.com/daily-vitality/Credit:Podcast Production by the team at The Wave PodcastingMusic by Phoebe GreenlandPhotography by Amy Boyle PhotographyPodcast art by  SimplyBe.

Dr. Daved Rosensweet is the Founder of The Menopause Method, a comprehensive approach to treating the many symptoms and physical changes of diminished hormones that women experience in midlife.Dr. Rosensweet is a leader in the bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT) field. In our conversation, he debunks the common myths that many women and physicians believe about BHRT and unpacks where most of the misinformation stems from.  In 2002, there was a government-led study known as the Women's Health Initiative which claimed that hormones for postmenopausal women are harmful. Years later, that conclusion was proven to be false, but the damage was already done. Dr. Rosensweet and his team at The Menopause Method are on a mission to show women that they can have dominion over their wellbeing and thrive in menopause.  Dr. Rosensweet highlights incredible success stories of women treated with bioidentical hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. He shares his recommendations for finding the right physicians and nurse practitioners who are also dedicated to advancing women's medicine and resisting the one-size-fits-all approach. Listen in to learn more about how to increase vitality and improve health outcomes in menopause. If you are enjoying these conversations, please subscribe and spread the love by leaving a review and sharing it with your friends.Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, TuneIn, or on your favorite podcast platform. Topics Covered: What's going on beneath the surface when women lose ovarian hormones What bioidentical hormone therapy is and how it worksDr. Rosensweet's top advice for women in midlife What you should look for when working with a hormone specialist and implementing a treatment plan How Dr. Rosensweet is embracing the challenges and breaking through barriers of the conventional healthcare model The truth about the Women's Health Initiative study Resources Mentioned:A4MIFMBrite  Estrogen Matters by by Avrum Bluming, MD & Carol Tavris, PhDConnect with Dr. Daved Rosensweet: Dr. Daved Rosensweet's WebsiteThe Menopause Method WebsiteInstitute of Bioidentical Medicine WebsiteI Wonder Doctor WebsiteGet in Touch: My WebsiteInstagramSpecial offers: Download a free digital copy of Dr. Rosensweet's book: Happy Healthy Hormones, How to Thrive in MenopauseDownload the Daily Vitality eBook at danafrost.com/daily-vitality/Credit:Podcast Production by the team at The Wave PodcastingMusic by Phoebe GreenlandPhotography by Amy Boyle PhotographyPodcast art by SimplyBe.
